Helping mission-driven organizations become more strategically effective in their business development, team leadership, communications, partnerships, and operations.
We have to talk about down there (Hay que hablar de ahí abajo) ❕👇 Why are so many of us afraid to speak openly about sex? The consequences of silence can be severe, but speaking openly can ignite change. Poderosas Colombia, a grantee partner of EMpower—The Emerging Markets Foundation led by the fearless Mariana Sanz de Santamaría Franco, is breaking the silence around sexual health in Colombia. The impact so far? 💠 16,000+ youth received sexual education 💠 343 future leaders trained 💠 Programs in 22 communities across 8 Colombian departments EMpower is proud to fuel this change through our partnership with Poderosas. We provide long-term, flexible funding, allowing Poderosas to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of the communities they serve. Additionally, we offer capacity-building support that's strengthening their organizational infrastructure and empowering their staff. EMpower's comprehensive approach has enabled Poderosas to grow their reach significantly, including expanding their work to the city of Cali. Thank you to Mariana for presenting today at our Global Staff Meeting to challenge us to confront the impact of silence around critical issues. ❔ What issues are you not talking about, and why? ❔ Join the movement!
