Womentum\u00a0is a non-profit organization with a mission to empower women entrepreneurs running micro-businesses. It is a global\u00a0crowdfunding platform that donates 100% of raised funds directly to the women entrepreneurs world-wide. Once these women\u2019s micro-businesses become successful, they re-donate a percentage of their original received donation to another woman entrepreneur in their community through a unique pay-it-forward model.<\/p>\n
Womentum will\u00a0use our grant to set-up the\u00a0Ishika\u00a0Memorial\u00a0Action Fund. This Fund will be used to match donations made to Womentum by other donors, thus amplifying their impact. \u00a0This Fund will also be used to meet shortfalls for women entrepreneurs who are within 10% of\u00a0reaching their funding target.<\/p>\n
Kofi Annan, the 2001 Nobel Peace Laureate, observed: There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.<\/p>\n
Ishika Agrawal (1984-2016) was a teacher of computer science and deeply cared about her\u00a0students and teaching well (like her grandfather, Prof. Ram Kumar).<\/p>\n
