My Nonprofit Reviews

I found 5 for Fairness after my mom (Solar Sister) won a grant cycle. I saw how this helped my mom's nonprofit and I decided right then and there that I wanted to help other social entrepreneurs make a difference in the world. This is such a great opportunity to become more aware of how people are really making an impact and addressing the problems of the world. For example, I interviewed the founder of the Orchid Project, Julia Lalla-Maharajh, and learned a lot about Female Genital Cutting (FGC) which I had not known about. Without 5 For Fairness I would never have known about how girls my own age are subjected to this dangerous and demeaning practice in some places in the world. It means a lot to me to be able to learn and understand about these issues. With 5 for Fairness I can get involved to help address these issues. There is a lot of behind the scene action which is what the interns do and it can be sometimes very hard to keep up with the work but it is rather gratifying when it is all done.
