Support women and girls in developing countries


Hello friends and colleagues. I’m taking on a challenge in March 2014 for to support women and girls in developing countries, who from as young as 3 have to spend their days walking to fetch water for their family.
I will be ‘Walking In Her Shoes’ for a week, which means I will wear a pedometer and walk at least 10,000 steps a day (about 5 miles). I am hoping to raise money to help provide safe water nearer to families who currently have to trek for miles every day to fetch water. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the ‘Give Now’ button. The more people that know about CARE International UK, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
You can give as little as £5 – sponsor me here https://walkinhershoes.everydayhero.com/uk/jenny-2 or why not join me.
This is the first of my fundraising challenges for 2014, there will be many others, as I would like to raise £5000 for women and girls who need it.  If you have any ideas or would like to join me in this mission, let me know info@rockingyourrole.com

Testimonials

“From the moment I started reading Rocking Your Role I was totally absorbed, recognising so many of the issues that Jenny refers to within this clearly written and practical book. She takes the reader on a journey which makes you question so many things about yourself but in a way that energises you to step back and think about your work life balance, and the importance of being honest with yourself and those around you. It will resonate with successful women, especially those who are the female breadwinners, in all areas of life.”

Pim Baxter
National Portrait Gallery

“Jenny Garrett charts the rise of the female main earner (ME) in her highly engaging exploration of female breadwinners. That a fifth of women in the UK now earn more than their partners is significant, yet we hear little about this. Garrett’s book illustrates why this is something we should celebrate, and yet we are resistant to do so.This book is an invaluable and inspiring source for those who will, either through choice or by chance, embark on this exciting route. She offers advice and space to reflect and challenges one of the modern day taboos.”

Mary Honeyball
London MEP

“A series of interactive transformative exercises drawing from the world of coaching and psychology will support personal and professional development for all individuals. Jenny has a great writing voice and has bought a human touch to a taboo subject with great sensitivity and creativity.”

Philip Whiteley
Business author

“A rare and powerful book covering an immensely important subject in a personal, practical and very moving way. I was inspired by reading it and left breathless by the achievements of the author and the women whose stories she tells.”

Dr Ann Limb OBE DL
South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership

“Reading this book lifted the clouds of expectations, guilt, imaginary limitations …. it liberated me to pursue my own personal dreams while still providing for my family.”

Nadine Juignet
Hewlett Packard

“This is a well researched book, that I think will meet a real need, the practical exercises are welcomed, much better than just a pile of theory. Perfect for those women struggling with being breadwinner.”
