Modern Goddess Magazine

This issue we are shining the spotlight on a blog that I stumbled upon while surfing the web.  What I love about this site is that it celebrates women and at the same time empowers women… it really is a great concept.

The Web Women Giving Circle allows women to “nominate” woman in their lives who have, in one way or another, inspired them and changed them into who they are today.

But wait… there is more!  The blog is also a ‘Giving Circle’.  A giving circle is formed when individuals come together and pool their dollars, decide together where to donate their collective contributions, and learn together about their community and philanthropy.  They raise their money through the nomination fee of $10 USD.

Joeann Fossland wanted to combine raising funds for women in other parts of the world, less fortunate than her, and at the same time recognise the ”leading ladies” in her life.  She recognises that she lives in an environment that allows her to better herself, and with the support of other women she has been able to do that.

She says “right now, there is a young girl out there who is suppressed by poverty and limited by illiteracy and other obstacles.  Yet, given the opportunity, she could go on to inspire and lead other women.  All she needs is a chance, and we can give it to her.”

To honour and acknowledge the women in your life, you can submit your nomination to The Web Women Giving Circle, and at the same time, donate $10 USD to empower a young girl such as the one described by Joeann.

Visit the Inspiring Women website and nominate your leading ladies!
