African American Women and Our Global Responsibility Community Workshop Forum--Saturday, April 14th
One Shared World: African American Women and Our Global Responsibility Community Workshop Forum--Saturday, April 14th from 10-2pm at the Chicago Urban League, 4510 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, IL.
NCNW has joined as a key partner in the One Shared World, a new national education campaign inviting American women to help tackle global poverty. One Shared World encourages women to learn more, connect more and do more to help their sisters in developing countries live better, healthier and more secure lives.
Focusing on health, education and economic progress, One Shared World aims to connect American working women to the many public and private efforts that help people in developing countries overcome poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease. It highlights the similarities between American women and those in cities, towns and villages in every corner of the globe.
One Shared World encourages concerned women to support United States development assistance efforts, and demonstrates assistance efforts and the success of supporting progress across the globe. Educating girls, for example, helps to foster more resilient families, prevent diseases like HIV/AIDS and create better jobs that pay higher wages*making
communities, societies, and the world we share healthier, safer and richer.
Along with NCNW, the partners in One Shared World include the American Association of University Women (AAUW), American Women in Radio and Television (AWRT) and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). The program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and managed by the nonprofit Academy for Educational Development (AED).
Join us on April 14th for our second One Shared World Community Workshop forum in Chicago, IL featuring, Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th Congressional District-IL) and Dr. Mtombfikle Mazibuko, Deputy Vice Chancellor and Head of the College of Humanity, University of KwaZulu in Durban, South Africa.
