FASHION FOR
HOPE 2010
A FASHION SHOWCASE
CREATED WITH THE VISION
OF HELPING OTHERS
We are extremely excited about this year’s
showcase, Fashion for Hope 2010.
Our mission is to raise awareness for Women
for Women International and financial
support. This event was a huge success last
year and has become
an annual showcase thanks to you. With the
help of our extraordinary sponsors
and supporters last year, we were able to
create a phenomenal
fashion showcase.
October 17, 2010 marks the special day of
Fashion for Hope. Inner Expressions and
Women for Women International will come
together for our second annual must see
event. Fashion for Hope was created with the
vision of helping others. This event will
begin with a small meet and greet cocktail
VIP reception followed by the extraordinary
Fashion Showcase. This fashion showcase will
highlight designers on skills and
creativity. Through this wonderful showcase
we are not loosing site of the purpose.
Proceeds from this event will support the
organization’s projects and programs.
As seen on Oprah, WFWI mobilizes women to
change their lives through a holistic
approach that address the unique needs of
women in conflict and post- conflict
environments. WFWI begin by working with
women who may have
lost everything in conflict and often have
nowhere else to turn.
As each woman engages in a multi-phase
process of recovery and rehabilitation, she
opens a window of opportunity presented by
the end of conflict to help improve the
rights, freedoms and status of women in her
country. As women who go through the program
assume leadership positions in their
villages, actively participate in the
reconstruction of their communities, build
civil society, start businesses, train other
women and serve as role models, they become
active citizens who can help to establish
lasting peace and stability. |
