In this week’s segment of GRTV’s NPO Showcase, Mary Daily Brown, the Co-Founder, President, and CEO of SowHope talk about how the organization supports women living in extreme poverty by funding focused projects throughout the world.
SowHope focuses on projects that can be sustained long-term in the region. They impact and put the community they support front and center by taking the work of a community leader in the region and helping transform their project with additional resources. They hire locals to complete the project and their focus is on empowering the women of the community.
SowHope's programs typically revolve around wellness, education, and economic support. A few examples of the projects SowHope has funded include birthing centers, life saving skills training, literacy and vocational training, and microloan and microfinance groups.
SowHope has a number of ways community members can get involved such as volunteer positions/internships, working teams, and donating to directly support their projects.
NPO Showcase is just one of the many ways that the Community Media Center serves the nonprofit community.
