Circle Of Sisterhood
Category: Women
DescriptionEstablished in 2010 after founder Ginny Carroll read Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, the Circle exists to help make a better life possible for women and girls by removing barriers to education and creating sustainable change. Funded by individual alumnae and sorority communities on college campuses across North America, the Circle seeks to ensure opportunities for girls and women to achieve education, by focusing on readiness for, access to, and performing well/persisting in school as well as improving the livelihood of girls and women. The Circle aims to fund entities regardless of location, but they are particularly interested in developing countries where girls are kept from school. Members of the Circle hope to help end oppressive brutality against women internationally by uplifting them from poverty through education. Additional information including application instructions can be found on the Web site.
