We are often asked, “why Women and Girls?” 🤷🏼🤷🏻♀️🤷🏾♂️
For decades, the world has tried to address poverty. ⏳ There has been a considerable focus on the poverty indicators: clean water, nutrition, shelter, health and education. And a particular emphasis on the youngest victims, the children. 👧🏾 Recent findings are concluding that if you want to address poverty, then invest in women. 🙋🏻♀️ At the Foxglove Project, we totally agree. 👍 Whilst women are most often the single demographic most impacted by poverty in the Developing World, they are also the best mechanism for change. 💪🏾 They are our greatest investment in a tomorrow marked by hope, self-determination and independence. 🌸

At Foxglove we want to help, not hurt! 🌸🌷💗
