NEWS RELEASE
CFUW ORILLIA
***************************
After the holiday season, CFUW Orillia is looking forward to an exciting 2023. Our next virtual general meeting is on Jan. 24 at 7 p.m.

We are pleased to be welcoming Linda Willis and Carol Hamilton as our guest speakers. Together they co-founded a Canadian charity called Change Her World. The charity began with 70 beneficiaries in 2011 and grew to 200 in 2022.

Poverty cannot be eliminated without literacy. The charity has persistently addressed the barriers to education faced by girls In Malawi, Africa. Things like providing underwear and reusable sanitary protection to the provision of computers for university students.

In 2014, the charity established a nursery school in response to a vital need for preschool education. A long-term commitment to meet the literacy needs of the entire community is being met by building a community library. This creates hope for everyone.

CFUW Orillia offers amazing social connections, life-long learning opportunities, a commitment to advocacy, new friendships, and is dedicated to promoting education.

CFUW Orillia has a membership of over 100 women and is a dynamic organization that welcomes all women who share our core beliefs of education, advocacy, social justice, and equality. For more information, check out our website cfuworillia.org.
