BeadForLife Program
Inspiration has inspired innovation with our investment in the BeadforLife Program, an international effort that began in 2004 as a strategy to provide sustainable income for Ugandan women and their families.
Haiti Clean Well Water Drilling & Disaster Fund
Inspiration has inspired innovation with our work for Haiti. Beyond just raising funds, we focused on the clean well water drilling project and negotiated a presentation from the Ambassador of Jamaica, who had experienced this issue of unsafe water in communities.
Reading is Fundamental (RIF)
Inspiration inspired innovation with the selection of Soror Ana T. Bolden, the PGCAC Chairperson of the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) Program to serve as the Maryland State RIF Ambassador. This honor was not surprising to PGCAC in that Soror Bolden has been extraordinary in elevating the importance of literacy in the community.
