FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN: RAHAB FOUNDATION

The PWNCR wants to help our local communities in Costa Rica. Let’s work together to help other local women who are less fortunate than us ❤

The Rahab Foundation is a local NGO that the PWNCR has worked with for many years. This Foundation helps save women who have been victims of sex trafficking. The foundation has an urgent need for financial support to supply food and to meet the needs of these women and their babies.

The PWNCR needs your help in collecting donations for them! For this we would like to invite you to an upcoming breakfast event to learn more about the Rahab Foundation. The event will take place on Friday, February 16th at 9:00 am  at their facilities. They have parking space for up to 10 cars, so carpooling is encouraged. If you would like to confirm your attendance, please send us an email to giving@pwncr.com

For US Tax deductible donations you can use this link donate to the Rahab Foundation via Amigos de Costa Rica. When you make the donation please put PWNCR in the description so we can keep track of the donations for the match incentive! Also – please email a screenshot or photo because we want to recognize you as a donor and have your contribution count toward the PWNCR‘s social responsibility campaign. ❤
