Last Sunday, we shared with you our Favorites Tweets @womenforwomenUK and @WomenforWomen. Today we decided to share our Favorites Tweets from another organization: CARE. Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and we think it’s important to support organizations helping women like CARE who is doing a amazing work empowering women and supporting events around the world.

As you may have noticed, we put online a new section on the Sama Gazette (right column): ‘The Sama Gazette supports…‘. We wanted to support CARE, partner of  Half the Sky,  a one-night-only event inspired by stories from the New York Times best seller “Half the Sky” by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. 

About CARE (read more here):

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.
