Buy a girl a power tool—and empower her for life
When Elaine Hamel teaches young, at-risk girls how to operate a power saw, she knows she's giving them more than carpentry skills. The founder of Girls at Work travels throughout New England to lead workshops that prove the motto: Give a girl stool, and she sits for a day, but give a girl a tool, and she builds herself up. Hundreds of of abused and neglected girls have benefited from Hamel's teaching; your $10 buys a girl a tool belt so she'll have the equipment to change her life. Click to donate.
