“At the Boulware Foundation, we believe that girls & women with equal power can make critical life decisions that benefit themselves, family members and their community. Women are important agents for social change and by investing in them, the impact is exponential.
Areas of Interest:
Financial Literacy – Every woman has the right to achieve financial independence and realize her full potential. By providing women with the knowledge and skills to budget, save, invest and smartly spend we also give then a future filled with more opportunity and security.
Workforce Development – Just because you have a skill doesn’t necessarily mean that the path to success is a given. Providing training to women & girls about job hunting practices, professional presentation and work place demeanor you increase their chances of finding jobs that best support their long-term careers.
Microfinance – Paired with financial education, micro-lending creates an opportunity for women to take an already developed skill or dream and grow it into a thriving, sustainable living. Small monetary loans allow women to enact their entrepreneurial skills and scale to create greater bounty for themselves and future generations.
Entrepreneurship – We want every girl & women to feel as though her dreams can become a reality. By teaching women to develop business plans, creatively problem solve and articulate complex ideas you are increasing their access to a more financially independent future.
Leadership Skills – Some of the greatest leaders in history have been women, and we want to maximize women’s ability to steer transformational change in their lives, families and communities. Teaching women & girls skills such as self-advocacy, conflict management and responsibility allows them to build healthy and strong personal and professional relationships.
Formal Education – Worldwide there are more than 31 million girls who will never attend school. However, for every year a girl attends school, her earning potential greatly increases and the likelihood of young marriage and parenting will drastically decrease.”
