Social Currency
To reinforce the support a woman may need in order to advance in this challenging economy, the Women’s Fund of El Paso provides the social currency model. Many obstacles women face in earning living wages, raising children, and developing their talents and leadership skills can be overcome by coming together and sharing both their time and talents. We advocate that women come together to help one another, to exchange talents and time.
