On October 17th, 2008 individuals and organizations around the world will observe World Poverty Day.  Many familiar with the issue of poverty know it mostly has a female face.  Although women perform two-thirds of the world’s work and grow more than half the world’s food, they represent 70 percent of those living in poverty and own only 1 percent of the world’s land.

Women’s funds worldwide continue to raise the visibility of poverty and its impact on families, while also investing in women-led solutions to dismantle poverty on a local, national and global scale. 

Join us in dismantling poverty by doing one simple act—recycling your cell phone.  Women’s Funding Network, Good Deed Foundation and Criterion, are working to turn your unwanted cell phones into money and practical support to dismantle poverty around the world!
