Your 2 minutes is worth $1.5 million for the Women of Somalia

The Somali Women’s Scholarship Fund sends Somali women to college in Somalia for one full year for only $1,000 each (including tuition and other expenses). The project is a partnership between the UN Development Program and 7 Somali Universities. Please learn more at www.undp-usa.org/somalia.
The Fund is currently participating in the American Express Members project. Now in its second year, the Members Project allows individuals to vote on which of the participating programs, like the Somali Women's Scholarship Fund, get $2.5 million in American Express® funding. Last year, Members Project participants helped provide clean drinking water to children all across Africa. This year lets support women in Somalia as they work to rebuild their nation and in the process make the world a safer place for all of us!
We need your help!
Please vote for the Somali Women's Scholarship Fund before August 31st by visiting: www.membersproject.com/project/view/RKUOAS.
You don’t need to be an American Express card holder; you can participate as a "guest user" to vote for this project.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
