Wo Ye Bra is the major initiative of our nonprofit organization, Infinity Global Empowerment (IGE). In 2016 after visiting Ghana for the second time, I wanted to make a difference in the lives of women and girls I met there. In talking to my daughter Jayla, and my Ghanaian friend, Ellen Adu Baah, I realized that many girls missed school during their menstrual cycle because they lacked adequate sanitary supplies. Jayla conducted a pilot project in a high school in Accra and confirmed that the problem and that the girls needed help. We initially donated sanitary products but that was a temporary remedy and was not sustainable. We named our program ‘Wo Ye Bra’ which refers to menstrual cycle in the Ghanaian Twi language. Instead of “giving them fish we taught them how to become fishermen.” In 2017 we started the Wo Ye Bra Program by training 20 women how to make and sell reusable (washable) sanitary pads. We provided each woman with a free sewing machines, fabric, sewing tools, training by local seamstresses, meals, transportation expenses, and micro-funding. As of January 2020, we have created 100 women entrepreneurs in Ghana and Sierra Leone who are sustaining themselves and their families as a result of our program. Additionally, we have donated over a thousand sanitary pads so girls can remain in school during their menstrual cycle. We have also donated face masks for women in villages to protect themselves during COVID-19. Your tax-deductible donation will help us change the lives of women and girls living in rural villages in Ghana and Sierra Leone, West Africa. All donations to our nonprofit, Infinity Global Empowerment, are tax deductible. Thank you for helping us change the world, one village at a time. — Adrienne B.

We do this by providing all of the resources and training for impoverished women to learn how to sew. This includes providing a free sewing machine, fabric, supplies, patterns and micro-funding, as well as marketing, sales training and finance education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90968bb56bdd07838c42dc/1586739128113-2XI10UVB5U3Y3RCKPO1Y/Screenshot_20200412-204329.jpg Home - Empower The women accepted into the Wo Ye Bra program are identified by village faith-based leadership as those who have asked for a miracle. 90% of the women in the program have children. Wo Ye Bra graduates leave poverty and are able to provide food, shelter, clothing and education for their entire families. Through their own success and work, they become productive members of their community. Some of our graduates have even hired neighbors to work in the sewing business with them. They are able to have a sense of pride in their work, and respect in their villages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90968bb56bdd07838c42dc/1586739226097-I6H4F8TRX1FY1EZ2CQD9/Screenshot_20200412-204057_2.png Home - Enlighten & Encourage By producing reusable sanitary supplies, and training women to run their own businesses, Wo Ye Bra is a sustainable program. Our graduates are able to not just create the reusable pads, but also expand their businesses into making school uniforms and other clothing for their communities. This skill set is marketable. It also has negligible environmental impact, unlike disposable pads. Wo Ye Bra solves two societal problems at once - supporting women and their families and keeping girls in school. Educated women make for a better society. It’s a win-win. https://www.woyebra.org/donate daily 0.75 2020-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90968bb56bdd07838c42dc/1590428187347-BDFHJEVA8O7URQWNN81S/IMG_4917.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90968bb56bdd07838c42dc/1590426383027-32J971XX5NZKCX87H1AW/28168425_1937875902899016_7215011710323059315_n.png Donate Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
