We support MADRE because it focuses on grass-roots, women's projects.
We sincerely believe that the solutions to our global problems of pollution, environmental degredation, poverty and social injustice are to be found LOCALLY on a community level. Any time we can empower women in their own communities, we are one step closer to global solutions.
