Philanthropy is not about the money. It's about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world.

Take time to learn about the lives of women around the world-and try to play a small part in their fight to create the future they deserve.

Like in Africa, if somebody doesn't have fuel, they're still going and collecting firewood. If they get an oven, that's a huge difference. You can do things to reduce the inequities by making sure that they can get clean energy, safe energy. To make sure they're not having to collect water every day. That's huge for women in the developing world.

One life is worth no more or less than any other

Make sure you continue to trust what you know now about yourself and stay true to what you believe in

Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common.

When we better understand the realities of these women's lives, we are able to design and deliver solutions that are more useful to them.
