The Greater Contribution Hosts "A Woman's Worth" in Thousand Oaks (Must RSVP)

The Greater Contribution, a non-profit that provides micro loans for women in remote villages in Uganda, hosts a “A Woman’s Worth” celebration Sunday, May 19th from 3:00pm to 5:30pm in Thousand Oaks.
 
In a beautiful outdoor garden, guests will enjoy live entertainment with Ugandan dancers, African drumming, storytelling, and international foods and refreshments. Dedicated to empowering Ugandan women to reach higher, this exclusive fundraising event gives guests an immersive cultural experience while enabling brighter futures and stronger communities beyond our borders.
 
Tickets are $40 per person, or $30 each with a friend; available at
www.greatercontribution.org/a-womans-worth
 
Join us in making a difference as we honor Ugandan women who work their way out of poverty with the small business loans, literacy, and self-reliance training that The Greater Contribution provides. 
 
More than 31,000 micro loans have been issued since The Greater Contribution originated in 2006.  The three-year enrollment programs support Ugandan women in becoming equal partners in their families and respected members of their communities. With a 98% loan repayment rate, our women entrepreneurs are providing life-changes for their children. Essentials we often take for granted. That means they can purchase shoes, or provide three meals a day, pay for medical care when needed, and keep their kids in school.
