Giving Women gives me the opportunity to give back / offer my skills and bring my added value (even if limited sometimes) to help women in need across the world and at my very, very limited scale to help building a better world. I also meet some wonderful GW members and learn from them.

Being part of Giving Women has allowed me to expand my knowledge of the NGO sector. Coming from the private sector, it’s been a unique experience to learn how an NGO operates and to understand the differences between both sectors. Also, it has given me ideas as to how the sectors could collaborate for mutual benefit.

- Jenny Yerena Schönberger

My opinion about philanthropy and its reach was skeptical until I became a member of Giving Women. Being a member has given me an opportunity to look at the peak from the other side of the mountain. I have been blessed enough to see first-hand the effort and passion that goes into the work done by the other members and beyond.
