San Francisco, CA (I-Newswire) August 4, 2011 - Beautisol, the leading sun care experts, joins Dermalogica, the world’s leading professional skin-care brand, Lifetime Television and Movie Networks, the number 1 network for women, and actor and advocate Geena Davis, in joinFITE, a new program to bring financial independence to women through entrepreneurship.
joinFITE (powered by Kiva.org) is new microlending platform to help women start or grow their own businesses and thereby help themselves and their communities become more financially independent. Driven by powerful partnerships with thought leaders, celebrities and across multiple industries, joinFITE is simple: you activate we donate she invests in her own potential.
Beautisol, a strong advocate of women entrepreneurs and education, is supporting joinFITE as a Featured Partner in an effort to improve the lives of thousands of women across the globe. With joinFITE, Beautisol and its customers take a more personal approach toward philanthropy not only supporting but learning about each woman entrepreneur. Beautisol therefore not only donates to this important cause, but educates its customers on the positive impact joinFITE has in the lives of low-income women.
“As a woman entrepreneur myself, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to sustain a business, let alone doing so in a low-income community, said Sinead Norenius, Founder of Beautisol. “It is a privilege to be involved with joinFITE. We are not only empowering women around the world, but strengthening our global economy and educating our customers along the way.”
Beautisol, will release special products with a joinFITE redemption code, and for every code being redeemed, $1.00 will be donated to fund a microloan in a part of the world and type of business of the consumer’s choosing. When a consumer goes to the joinFITE website (www.joinfite.org) and enters the special donation code printed on the joinFITE sleeve packaging, a donation will be allocated to help fund a loan for a woman entrepreneur.
joinFITE, which launched in early 2011, is aiming to help a minimum of 25,000 women in the U.S. and 56 countries around the world to start or grow a business through consumer and corporate active participation in micro-lending. The majority of the microloans will be extended to women in non-industrialized countries, who live below the internationally defined poverty-line.
“We believe that women’s financial independence is crucial to the world, especially in a time of economic uncertainty, said Jane Wurwand, Founder of Dermalogica. “We hope that more companies like Beautisol take a stand and make a difference and join FITE.”
