​Ready to Empower was featured in Serendipity magazine November 2019 to help spread their mission of women empowerment and highlight the annual fundraiser event, “Cocktail for a Cause” at L’Escale Restaurant in Greenwich, CT.

​Ready to Empower partnered with KS Handmade, a woman owned business to help us continue our empowering work with women and their families. When you give $150 or more, you can receive a personalized 12″ x 24″ wood sign of your choosing to decorate your home or give as a gift to someone!

​RTE celebrated a graduation ceremony with the amazing women who completed the Empowerment Programs in Costa Rica.

​Ready to Empower is excited to announce the incorporation of Self-defense classes for women participating in the Empowerment Programs.

In Costa Rica, our women are being trained to learn different trades to empower themselves! Women in the Empowerment Programs began offering hair styling classes to help women learn new skills to become self-reliant.

Some fun for the ladies in our partner organizations programs! ADE held a painting class for all of our participating women.

​On May 22nd we were proud to celebrate the women graduating from our partner organization’s programs in Costa Rica! Your ongoing support let’s us provide women with the tools needed to become self-reliant! These women have been equipped with various skills and tools that will allow them to become self sustainable and non reliant on charity. None of this would be possible without your support! CONGRATS LADIES!!

​On May 4th we were joined by RTE supporters and sponsors in the race to empower women while celebrating our Founder’s birthday at Vintage Lounge and Restaurant. Supporters came decked out in true Kentucky Derby attire to see the race and place their bets all while raising thousands of dollars for the women in our program! Attendees enjoyed an open bar, dinner, live music, a wine pull, and a silent auction and got several opportunities to raise money for a great cause!

Women participating in our programs worked to empower themselves by selling their baked goods to become self-reliant! Invest into giving opportunities for women to work!

Several students at Pace Unviersity volunteered alongside our intern to help raise funds to continue empowering women! They sold handmade RTE jewelry made by the women participating in our programs in Costa Rica and helped raise awareness at the same time!
