In honor of my birthday, please join me in my effort to raise $1000 to put two women through Fund for Armenian Relief's 3-month #SheCan women's economic empowerment accelerator.
Refugee women often bring survival skills and grit forged in hardship, yet face extra barriers like trauma, childcare, and discrimination. Tailored entrepreneurship training turns that potential into flexible businesses (catering, crafts, services), delivering faster income, dignity, and independence than many traditional paths.
Women invest disproportionately in their children's health and education, breaking poverty cycles more effectively, while becoming role models who strengthen entire families and communities.
