Over the past nine years since its founding, 100 Women Who Care has raised almost $3,000,000 pesos! reports Susan Page, Steering Committee Member. The funds were contributed to 42 of San Miguel’s many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide services to impoverished communities around San Miguel.
Susan will explain how 100 Women Who Care was founded, how money is raised, what meetings are like, and exactly how the group has helped some of the NGOs — including some heartwarming stories.
Susan explains, “Our mission is to reach out and help our community with 100+ to each contribute $1,000 pesos four times a year, that’s a goal of $400,000 annually, to local charities. All charities and organizations up for consideration must be in the San Miguel area. The idea is to keep it local and have an impact that we can see in our community. If $1,000 pesos is too steep for you each time, bring a friend or friends and join as a team.”
As Susan further explains, the group is perfect for those who want 100% of donations to go directly to a local charity; who don’t have time for a consistent volunteer commitment; who want to be part of a powerful group that has an immediate positive impact.
Susan Page is a founding member of 100 Women Who Care in San Miguel. She is also the co-founder and Executive Director of the San Miguel Literary Sala and the San Miguel Writers’ Conference. She has lived in San Miguel for nineteen years. She and her husband, Mayer Shacter, own the folk art and antiques gallery, Galeria Atotonilco, with showrooms five miles north of town in the country and in the Fabrica Aurora.
