For International Women’s Day, the Lise Watier Foundation launches the 2nd edition of the Believe in her campaign<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On March 8, the Lise Watier Foundation will launch the second edition of its Believe in her<\/em> campaign, which involves 20 ambassadors from the Quebec and Toronto business communities in order to bring the Let’s Start Up program to more women. At a time when one in ten women in Canada lives below the poverty line[1] and 39% of those who work earn less than $20,000 per year[2], this initiative will concretely allow local women to reveal, activate and develop their professional potential by starting their own business, going back to school or finding a more rewarding job. Since 2017, the Let’s Start Up program has supported more than 700 women towards sustainable financial independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When geese fly, they move in a V formation. This way, they move faster and face the bad weather. They take turns to lead the flock and make sure that they always support those who are injured or sick. They help each other to reach their goal. This solidarity inspired the Let’s Start Up program, because we believe that we too are stronger together,” says Lise Watier, founder of the Lise Watier Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders were inspired<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Touched by the cause and Ms. Watier’s vision of solidarity, the ambassadors quickly answered the call. Most of them have benefited from some form of support at one time or another in their careers, and together they are committed to mobilizing their networks and the public to give back by raising the sum of $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
