Many people feel that no real change can be created without intervention from big businesses. While this blog is mainly focused on how individuals can create a change I am also going to share stories of big businesses caring.
In a magazine add ExxonMobil writes;
"As studies by the World Bank and the United Nations show, when women are allowed to fulfill their potential, they not only improve the lives of their families but also create new economic opportunities in their communities and drive progress in their nations. That's why ExxonMobil is supporting women in developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Our support for the Qatar Foundation Social Development Center has enabled women with limited education to gain the vocational and life skills needed to enter the workforce. We are also proud to support other preeminent organizations helping to develop women leaders around the world. This includes the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA), Global Women in Management program, which strengthens the leadership skills of women working in community organizations in developing countries. We have also joined the Vital Voices to develop the African Women's Leadership Initiative- a training model to empower women in Africa to become leaders in business and public life.
ExxonMobil salutes our global partners who are truly making a difference."
The main point of posting this information is to encourage people who feel that big businesses don't care about helping the poor. Companies can do good things. Keep your faith in humanity, it's not all bad.
