We, at Catherine Nicole continue to uphold our promise of giving back to the global community. A portion of every sale on catherinenicole.com goes to Chicks Against Child Brides, our program in partnership with BRAC’s Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents (ELA) program which gives microloans to girls from impoverished communities to start their own businesses.
We wanted to share some exciting news from BRAC’s ELA program. They have just opened their newest ELA center in Jacmel, Haiti.
BRAC says, ”The idea behind ELA is to create “safe spaces” for learning and socializing, opening gateways to social and financial empowerment. Opportunities like these are limited for young Haitians, especially girls, and much sought after in a country still recovering from the 2010 earthquake.”
