Celebrating Women by Empowering Them with Coca-Cola 5by20 Initiative

“I received products from Coca-Cola’s 5by20 program; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.”Can you imagine waiting to earn an income but not having access to the needed skills, resources or opportunities?  It would make it difficult to provide for you family.

One of my favorite things about traveling is picking up little hand-crafted items along the way.  It doesn’t matter if I am taking a road trip or flying on a plane I always check for excellent hand-crafted items to take back home.  I think the reason hand-crafted items stick out to me is that I know someone put their hard work into creating that one item.  There is no machine that makes copy after copy, it’s someone who put labor in each of my handcrafted items, and that makes them just a little more unique.  I get super excited when I learn a piece is crafted by a women entrepreneurs, because the more we support each other, the more we grow.

Have you heard about Coca-Cola’s 5by20 initiative?  It was created to help empower female entrepreneurs all over the world by proving them with the tools and training needed to grow their income and their business.  It’s an excellent program, especially when you consider the fact that a majority of the females who are in the program live in developing nations and use resourcefulness and creativities to turn to Coca-Cola packaging into excellent décor items and accessories to help elevate themselves, their families and their communities.

March is Women’s Month, and I’m excited to celebrate it by supporting women one purchase at a time.  I actually have some pretty impressive items I was sent pretty neat items for Coca-Cola’s 5by20 Initiative which was launched in 2010 with a goal of empowering 5 million women entrepreneurs by the year 2020 in over 60 countries all over the world.  Sounds pretty awesome right?  I think so too, did you know that by the end of the year 2015 about 1.2 million women were impacted in total through the initiative.
