Maria Andrews, Director of Marketing & Communications, Women for Women International, says “Having the support of Women in Marketing Awards will enable us to raise awareness about our work of rebuilding the lives of woman survivors of war”.
Women for Women International have set a challenge amongst the marketing community to sponsor 100 women from the war-torn countries that Women for Women operate in. Sponsorship enables a woman survivor of war to join a one year programme that gives her access to direct financial assistance to help meet her basic needs, as well as job-skills training, rights to education and small business assistance.
“The Women in Marketing Awards celebrates success and leadership, I’m honoured to support the next generation of women leaders who are survivors of war" says Ade Onilude, Awards Creator.
Kevin Allen, CEO & Founder, KevinAllenPartners – Sponsor of the Women In Marketing Awards, says “As the son of a confident, independent single mother I learned early that she was and is the central glue that holds our world together. The fact is it's true everywhere around the globe. But… when war, conflict and strife threaten the life and vital role of the woman, not only is this a singular tragedy, but the society she holds together collapses. It's as simple as that. These women cannot be forgotten.
The Women In Marketing Awards initiative is all about talented and courageous women, and a supreme and inspired example of this is the Women for Women organization, who are dedicated to ensuring the safety and vitality for women in war-torn areas, not only to secure the lives of women, but the very existence of her society as a whole.
It is a great privilege for KevinAllenPartners to support the crucial and very fine work that the Women for Women organization provides.”
We believe that with the exceptional skills of marketers, the mission of Women for Women International will be amplified in helping to spread the word about ‘changing the world one woman at time’.
