How amazing are these girls?! Feeling so inspired today by the young women who are the first in their families to get an education, with the help of She’s The First. A huge shout out to this wonderful organization for the difference they are making in the lives of so many intelligent, bright girls that now have the opportunity to succeed and change the world for the better! 

"I talk a lot about learning to become fearless in your approach to life. But fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of fear. It’s all about getting up one more time than you fall down."

—Arianna Huffington

Nonprofit Spotlight: Setting the Bar at the Seven Bar Foundation

                           

Here at charitybuzz we are lucky enough to work with over one thousand nonprofits around the world—all supporting different causes and missions. And in an effort to get you connected to the causes we work so closely to support, we’re putting the spotlight on the Seven Bar Foundation! 

Who has the spotlight?

The Seven Bar Foundation is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for microfinance initiatives used to empower women. Using a combination of cause marketing campaigns and top couture events to give visibility to their cause, the Foundation generates funds that are allocated to microfinance institutions, and distributed to women entrepreneurs and small business owners.

 What do they do?

The micro-loans give women a chance to start or maintain their own small businesses. They are then able to set up payment plans to re-pay the loans, so that they can become self-sufficient business owners.

 How can you help?

Currently, Seven Bar is running an online auction with charitybuzz to fuel their initiatives, with items up for auction like a set visit to MTV’s The Real World, lunch with Mayhem Man Dean Winters, a behind-the-scenes tour of Teen Vogue, and VIP tickets to a star-studded Pre-Oscar party. The Foundation also hosts top couture and luxury lingerie shows in New York, Miami, London and Paris. To find out more about how you can get involved, visit http://www.sevenbarfoundation.org/get-involved/ and help Seven Bar raise the bar for women one rung at a time!
