Tell it Well Greeting Cards by Amy K Wright Photography<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was given the incredible gift of visiting India in 2012 and\u00a02014. Each trip included a visit to groups of women, in rural villages, who are receiving microloans from Whole Planet Foundation\u2019s India partner CASHPOR Micro Credit. These microloans are used to purchase various items to start their own businesses, such as goats, or weaving materials, and enable each woman to create an opportunity that would otherwise not be available to her,\u201d says Amy K Wright, founder of Tell it Well Greeting Cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn average, most of these women are living on less than $2 a day, and this level of poverty prohibits them from gaining access to a loan from a traditional bank. To put it very simply\u2026 a microloan = hope and this hope offers a practical way to become an equal business partner with her husband; to feed and clothe her children and gain access to education \u2013 many of the basics in my life that I take for granted. I am profoundly changed by my experience of meeting these vibrant and beautiful women in India, who are being empowered to change their own lives, and that is why I am committed to supporting the Whole Planet Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

From December 1-31, 2019, $0.10 from each sale of Tell It Well Greeting Cards will be donated to alleviate poverty through Whole Planet Foundation\u2019s microlending programs in the U.S. and around the globe.<\/p>\n

By alleviating poverty and demanding fair cocoa prices, we can collectively change chocolate for the better,\u201d says Dena White, US Marketing Manager for Tony\u2019s Chocolonely.<\/p>\n
