The Importance of Our Work as a Foundation
This blog has always been about connecting with you and therefore growing our community and support network. That's why today we want to tell you about the importance of your donations to Tara.
As you know, Tara for Women was born from the memory of a daughter who did not have the opportunity to build her own dream. Thanks to her, today we can recognize millions of TARA women around the world. A Tara woman is everywhere in our society: a young girl, a married woman, a sister, a widow or simply a neighbor who has no voice. When you donate to Tara for Women, you give a voice to all these women.
By donating to Tara you are not only helping women around the world achieve a dream, but you are also supporting their household finances, investing in their future, and providing new opportunities to all those women who once thought that this was not possible for them.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) report shows that in Spain alone, there are more than 650,000 female entrepreneurs, of whom 70% claim to have made the decision to start their own business when the opportunity presented itself.
Can you imagine how many women have not had the same opportunities?
At Tara for Women we are standing together to prevent this from happening again.
Because we recognize the power that women have and we are convinced that investing in them means investing in the economy, education and homes.
Did you know that in 14 economies, female entrepreneurship increased during the pandemic? And that in 10 economies, projects led by women outnumber those led by men?
And despite all these figures, only 14% of startups in Spain are created by women. Why?
According to the Global Gender Gap Index, these obstacles are due to the gender gap where, in 2020, Spain reached 79.5%, thus positioning itself among the top 10 in the ranking of countries analyzed. The dropout rate for female entrepreneurs reaches 54% due to fear of failure, lack of resources and household responsibilities.
However, today many barriers and “firsts” have been broken. Thanks to foundations like Tara for Women, thousands of women around the world are beating the odds and creating projects that have a social impact all around the world.
Currently in Spain there are 9 female entrepreneurs for every 10 men.
Just imagine how many women need our help.
You can be part of that change.
Donate to Tara and help thousands of people around the world.
