Featured Commitment #2
Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) - Announced by Robert Radtke
ERD commits to launch the formation of a Women's Development Council, which will support women's empowerment strategies in all of ERD's programs. Their integrated community development programs give 1.6 million women in more than 45 countries access to resources and tools that promote self-reliance, and are distinguished by a vow to move beyond recognizing women as recipients of development services. Based on previously successful fundraising efforts, ERD hopes to raise $2 million over the next year to support the Council's programs and estimates that it will impact 1.6 million women and children.
