Hello Missoula! My name is Indy Barr and I’m an 8th grader at Missoula International School. On February 21st I will be hosting an Open Mic event at Free Cycles to raise awareness and funds for girls’ education in Malawi.
Malawi is the 4th poorest country in the world. For various reasons, it is extremely difficult for a girl in Malawi to attend and stay in school, especially throughout high school and university.
Money we raise and send to I Demand Access will go directly to the Othakarhaka Foundation, which empowers girls through education and helping others.
Thanks to the passions, creativity, and huge kindness of people like Ida Puliwa, there are ways we can help all the way from Missoula!
What you can do:
* Watch this 1½ minute video about the Othakarhaka “Passing on the Kindness” Foundation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezEILjKJMu8
* Watch this 30 minute documentary about Ida Puliwa and the powerful ways she is uniting people to bring positive changes to her home country of Malawi: https://vimeo.com/357296927
* Check out what’s being accomplished through I Demand Access: https://www.idemandaccess.org/.../be6a4a...
* Share your talents - or just come enjoy the talents of others - at Open Mic night: February 21 (Tuesday), 6:45 pm, FreeCycles, Missoula.
* Tell your friends by reposting this to your social media and inviting them to join you at Open Mic.
* Donate money at https://www.idemandaccess.org. It’s incredible how little it takes in Malawi to kick-start people out of poverty and onto a path of self-sustainability…
$10 supports a girls’ education for a month.
$25 pays for a school uniform.
$120 educates a girl for an entire school year.
$150 pays for a bicycle for girls to get to school.
$500 sends a girl to university for one year.
$2500 sends a girl from high school through college.
* Send me an email if you have any questions or if you would like to hear about the impact of our donations. You can also check out the event page at: https://fb.me/e/3e1B6hfXt
