Red Pants For the World

Red Pants for the World is a project based in the premise that young women can make a difference in the world through powerful communication. This year, Red Pants is focusing on empowering young women in Afghanistan to find their voices through education and support from other young women of the world.
Social networking is one perfect opportunity for the young women of the world to connect and support each other. Red Pants is searching for young women in local communities around the United States, many with difficult economic and social circumstances in their own lives. Red Pants believes that by turning one's focus away from personal problems to making a difference with others, something amazing happens: we discover the power to deal with our own circumstances as well.
The young women of Afghanistan are perhaps in the most difficult circumstances, with the threat of war and terrorism, the economic struggles of their country and the local cultural mores that threaten to keep women from opportunities for education independence. The young women of Afghanistan, especially in the rural areas, have little opportunity to discover their own voices and connect with the world.
Red Pants first project is to provide supplies and whatever is needed to the rural villages of Afghanistan and in particular, to the women in those villages. Teeming up with a well known Afghanistan born woman living in France, Red Pants now has a direct opportunity to connect with the rural women of Afghanistan to provide whatever is needed to further the education in rural villages. Our purpose and goal is to have every woman discover her voice and gain power over life.
