As I enter my 5th year as a supporter of DiscoverHope and my 3rd year as BoardPresident, I am forever grateful that the technology explosion has actually allowed
us to create a very personal connection to the work we do and to the women we
serve.
I am especially proud of the launch of our new Legacy Program, which allows donors to fund a village bank of 10-12 women for an entire year through a $5,000 donation. This sponsorship provides funds for all of the trainings, bank loans, and administration for the entire year and allows for complete sustainability for the village bank. In return for the sponsorship, the donor receives quarterly updates, letters, pictures and videos on the bank’s progress.

The connection we gain through the Legacy program with the women of El Girasol goes well beyond a sponsorship. It allows us to also experience their experience.
It reminds me every day of how similar we are -- the humans on this planet. We all want the best opportunities we can create for ourselves and our families. Mothers want their children to be fed, loved, and to get the best education possible. Fathers want a better life for their children than they had. Everyone wants the opportunity to express themselves through their own creations. And given the opportunity, most people will work very hard to make that opportunity a reality.

There are many more village banks awaiting sponsorship
through the DiscoverHope Legacy program.
You can read about them all on our website. I hope you’ll consider joining my family in supporting a
village bank for a year. I know you’ll experience joy in watching the steady
progress of these women on their journey from poverty to prosperity for their
families, and future generations. If you are interested in joining us on this
journey, I’d be happy to talk to you personally about the Legacy program.
In gratitude,
