Great News About the Car for Emusoi Campaign

We have a challenge grant of $10,000!


I have great news about the campaign. A generous donor has come forward with a challenge grant of $10,000. He will match any further contributions 100%. Along with my promise of a 50% match for all donations, this new circumstance can put us over the top by year-end. 


This means that new donations of $500 will raise our total by $1500, $100 will mean 
$300, $50 will become $150—all going toward a happy future for threatened girls. Given this, can you offer a further donation? Would you be willing to reach out to your friends and ask them to join in? I hope so.

Car Fund Progress Report


All the progress we have made in the car fund is due to the generosity of friends who have given.  The Emusoi girls have been writing them notes to thank them for their help.  My thanks go with theirs.


As of the end of August, we are a bit over 20% of where we need to be.




I will not give up, especially since this is also an opportunity to inform people about the almost inescapable fate of these girls were it not for Emusoi.

If you are one of the generous folks who have already given, I wonder if you would be willing to reach out to your friends and ask them to join the effort. If you are willing to do so, you can use the links below.  If there is any way that I can be helpful, please say so in a comment below or by emailing me at annamaria@annamariaalfieri.com.  Whatever you decide, I am extremely grateful for your help so far.

If you have not donated yet, you can find the facts about the need here:

And below are the instructions for how to make a donation:

I match every dollar donated by 50% and all of the funds will go towards the car.  A car that will help transport these girls into the future they deserve.

THANK YOU!
