Chime for Change, founded by Gucci, is asking women everywhere to speak up for change all over the world. The kind of change that benefits girls and women everywhere. “Education. Health. Justice. For every girl. Every woman. Everywhere. Because none of us can move forward if half of us are held back.” Pick a cause and donate to hundreds of projects.

I ran across this initiative soon after I read, “6 simple ways to save the world” in the November issue of Marie Claire via NextIssue on my iPad mine.  Seeing some of the solutions people are coming up with to address women’s issues globally is eye-opening. Here are a few relevant highlights:

• Toxic Cookers, Solution = Smokeless Stove

• Unhygenic Periods, Solution = A Cheaper Maxi Pad

• Dirty Drinking Water, Solution = Purifying Straw

• Deadly Home Births, Solution = Delivery Kit

• Cervical Cancer, Solution = Household Vinegar
