It is definitely not lost on me how privileged I am as a woman to live in the United States. Sure, America has its social challenges, but one thing I can attest to: If you work hard and smart you can become anything in life you want to be. While there are inherent disparities for women and girls in our country they vastly pale in comparison to the challenges women and girls face in the poorest country in Africa: Malawi.

Whenever I have a chance to make measurable change for the economic upliftment of women and girls in third world countries I’m always happy to help.

The Clinton Global Initiative, General Mills, and CARE have come together to create Join My Village (www.joinmyvillage.com), a web site where you can join a team of caring individuals like you committed to helping  75 Malawian villages attain economic sufficiency for women. One of the things I love about this site is you have the option of “unlocking” money as well as donating money to Join My Village, so in case you don’t have money to give you can do very simple actions like answering quiz questions, inviting your friends to sign up and joining a team to unlock $1 for your village.

General Mills is poised to give a $500,000 donation to Join My Village through the help of ordinary people like us.

I am a member of Team Tembwe. Tembwe is a village that is rife with poverty, hunger, economic disenfranchisement, and HIV/AIDS. All of the money we raise through donations and unlocking money will help women and girls in the village.
