Empowering Filipino Women
I believe in helping people who help themselves.
The decision to empower Filipino women was an easy choice. I grew up in the Philippines and I know first-hand the struggle that women face every day in a culture which put women in a subservient role. But these women are hard working, resilient and hopeful. Hopeful that they will be able to improve their lives and the lives of their children when provided with a resource to do so.
Therefore, I made commitment to support these women with every photoshoot that I do. It started with just one recipient and the number just keeps going. I am very excited to reach 5oo recipients.
Thank you so much for all the women I have photographed for making this endeavor possible.
Support Kiva
More than 1.7 billion people around the world are unbanked and can’t access the financial services they need. Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 in San Francisco, with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive.
We do this by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for the underserved, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world. Through Kiva’s work, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care.
By lending as little as $25 on Kiva, you can be part of the solution and make a real difference in someone’s life. 100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans.
