MAKE CHANGE: Camfed

IMOW recently conducted a survey asking for feedback from the users of our website. We wanted to know what people liked, what they didn't like, and what they wanted to see more of--and we heard a resounding "MORE!" from hundreds of people who wanted the Museum to offer ways to take actions and make changes around the world.

Well, here is our first step toward satisfying that request: Our "Make Change" feature. Every week, we'll use this column to feature a way to get involved and make a difference in the lives of women around the world.

For our inaugural offering, we wanted to highlight the work of one of our amazing partner organizations: Camfed, the Campaign for Female Education, which focuses on battling gender inequity and HIV/AIDS in Africa by investing in young girls and women. They do incredible work.

Now here's where you MAKE CHANGE: Sign up for Camfed's mailing list by clicking here. Yep, that's it! This simple action will provide a year's worth of pencils to girls in Africa. To recap: Your email address = a year's worth of essential learning supplies for girls in need. How easy, and awesome, is that?
