🤝 Empowering Change: Extending a Helping Hand to the Less Fortunate 🌍 Hello LinkedIn community! 👋 Today, I want to shed light on a cause close to my heart—supporting the less fortunate. In a world full of opportunities, it's our collective responsibility to ensure that no one is left behind. Here's a glimpse into how we can make a difference: 🧡 Acts of Kindness: Small gestures can have a big impact. Whether it's donating to local charities, volunteering time at a community center, or simply lending a helping hand to those in need, let's embrace the power of compassion and kindness. 🌐 Global Outreach: Poverty knows no borders, and our efforts shouldn't either. Let's explore ways to extend our support globally—partnering with organizations that provide education, healthcare, and basic necessities to marginalized communities worldwide. 🤲 Skills for Empowerment: Education and skills training empower individuals to break the cycle of poverty. Let's collaborate on initiatives that equip the less fortunate with the tools they need for a brighter future, creating a ripple effect of positive change. 💬 Community Dialogue: Open conversations are crucial in addressing the root causes of poverty. Let's engage in discussions about systemic issues, share knowledge, and work towards sustainable solutions that uplift entire communities. 🤝 Collective Impact: Alone, we can make a difference; together, we can create lasting change.

In the United States, the plight of Native American children is underscored by distressingly high levels of poverty and vulnerability. These children endure disproportionate rates of impoverishment and victimization, facing systemic challenges that hinder their well-being and opportunities for a prosperous future. Supporting Native-led nonprofits emerges as a critical avenue in tackling these disparities, as these organizations are uniquely positioned to bridge the resource gaps in tribal communities. By directing support towards these nonprofits, we actively contribute to initiatives that aim to uplift and empower these young individuals, fostering environments where their resilience can flourish and their potential can thrive. At #NotOurNativeDaughters we want to protect our youth, but also empower them. 🪶 #NativeChildrenMatter #SupportNativeYouth #EmpowerTribalCommunities #BreakTheDisparities #StrengthInSupport #NativeLedNonprofits #EquityForAll #EndChildPoverty #UpliftNativeYouth #InvestInTheirFuture #GiveNative #GivingTuesday

That's why we've launched our non-profit, Kingdom Planting Ministries, to help make a difference.

Which region do you think should be next? 👀 We’re absolutely buzzing to see the initiative roll out in NI –it just goes to show we really can make the change we want to see through collaboration. A few key points from Northern Ireland to remember: 🔴 Free period products (pads, tampons, and even reusables!) are available in every public library and mobile library across Northern Ireland. 🔴 The PickUpMyPeriod app helps users locate free products and access period advice, with every 🩸 on the app’s map marking a PickUpPoint! 🔴 Hey Girls donates 100% of profits to fighting period poverty and lobbying for change.

Thrilled to be showcased in Tipping Point Community’s annual report about its work on reducing poverty in the Bay Area, including for immigrants through workforce inclusion. Thanks to the support of Tipping Point’s network of funders for over a decade, Upwardly Global has been able to multiply its impact and help remove the employment barriers that prevent immigrant and refugee job seekers in San Francisco from obtaining skill-aligned work. In 2023 alone, we helped more than 1,000 job seekers in the Bay Area get a new job with an average starting salary of $72,000. In some cases, the job seekers that we worked with tripled their salary in less than a year. Tipping Point recognizes the critical importance of creating pathways to enable individuals at risk of poverty to secure well-paying jobs aligned with their skills and, consequently, unlock a brighter future. They also understand the importance of immigrants for cities like San Francisco. Investing in their integration and success is not just a choice but a necessity for maintaining thriving cities and communities. #Philanthropy #PhilanthropyMatters https://lnkd.in/e5Z5xnwt
