Look What You Did This Week!!
Last week I shared 2 of the women you helped through this Substack letter - now I’m sharing more! I had so much fun going into KIVA today to choose women to help - all because some of you have been able to become Paid Subscribers.
Here’s the thing though… it takes ALL of you - paid and Free subscribers to create the community of Bregdan Women that makes this possible. THANK YOU!
KIVA is a microloan organization that empowers people all over the world to create businesses, get an education, etc. I’ve been helping women for years through KIVA, but I Am A Bregdan Woman is throwing that into overdrive! I love KIVA so much because it loans money and helps women succeed. The women pay back the loan - meaning we can put it back into the cycle by giving it to another woman. It never goes away!
Meet the two newest recipients:
# 1 -
Lucille from The Philippines
Lucille is a hardworking entrepreneur who has a food vending business in the Philippines. Lucille requested a PHP 25,000 loan through NWTF to purchase ingredients for her food production business. Lucille has been sustaining her business activities through her own efforts with the help of the loans from NWTF. She dreams to save enough money so she could afford to send her children to college.
YOU have helped to make her dream come true!
Vilma - The Philippines
Vilma is 61 years old, married with four children. Vilma has a food vending business in the Philippines.
She has requested a PHP 20,000 loan through NWTF to purchase ingredients for her food production business. Vilma has been sustaining her business activities through her past loans from NWTF.
Vilma aspires to save enough to secure the future of her family.

I’ll never stop helping women change their lives. I’ll also never stop letting YOU know you are helping make it possible!
Please don’t think this is a request for you to become a Paid Subscriber. I know there are many that simply can’t. I’m giving you EVERYTHING anyway.
But… if you can…
I cheer every time I see a paid subscription come through. Seriously… I cheer every time I receive notice of a new paid subscriber. At least once a day I do a happy dance in my office!
Why do I get so excited? Two reasons:
1 - Because I need your help in reaching millions of women around the globe. My goal is at least 5 Million women… women in EVERY country - well every country that has internet.
I constantly think about what a better world we will live in when millions of women understand their POWER to live their lives and make a difference - all from reading stories of amazing women who are doing just that.
It takes a lot of money to reach all these women through emails, social media, and advertising. I give as much as I can from my income as an author, but I need other Bregdan Women to step up and help - just $5 a month will make a huge difference.
I never want a woman to not be able to receive everything I create because of money!
But that’s not all…
2 - 15% of the money will go toward supporting women owned businesses around the world through KIVA or another microloan company. I’ve been supporting women through this organization for years - with your help, we can help even more. I’ll introduce you to the women we’re helping! The ripples through their lives and through their families lives will spread to generations.
With just $5 a month, you can make a huge difference as a Bregdan Woman!
In addition, I’m giving you a PDF version of I Am A Bregdan Woman - a 255 page book written just for YOU.
Every action you take impacts history!
Have a fabulous day!
Ginny
