Houma’s July Non-Profit Spotlight: Mariposa Foundation


EmpowerHER Life Houma Spotlights Mariposa Foundation This Month

This month, EmpowerHER Life Houma is proud to shine a spotlight on an inspiring organization dedicated to transforming lives: the Mariposa Foundation. As a beacon of hope, Mariposa stands out for its unwavering commitment to empowering girls and women in underserved communities through education and holistic support programs. The Foundation’s innovative approach not only educates but also nurtures, fostering environments where women can flourish, pursue their dreams, and emerge as influential leaders within their communities.

What Does Mariposa Do?

The Mariposa Foundation operates under a pivotal belief: empowering a girl can break cycles of poverty in just one generation. By providing access to education, health care, and psychosocial support, Mariposa equips these young women with the tools they need to succeed. From literacy programs and job training to health education and environmental stewardship, the Foundation covers an array of initiatives designed to uplift the whole person, addressing not just educational needs but also emotional and physical well-being.

How Can You Help?

EmpowerHER Life Houma invites its members and the broader community to support the Mariposa Foundation in several meaningful ways:

  • Financial Contributions: Every dollar donated directly supports the Foundation’s programs, helping to cover the costs of education, skill-building workshops, and much-needed resources for girls and women striving for a better life.
  • Volunteering: Whether it’s by lending expertise in educational programs, participating in fundraising efforts, or offering administrative support, your time and skills can make an enormous difference in the operations of the Mariposa Foundation.
  • Awareness and Advocacy: Help spread the word about Mariposa’s mission and successes. By amplifying their stories through your networks, you can attract more support and encourage others to contribute to this cause.

EmpowerHER Life Houma believes in the power of community and collective action. By spotlighting the Mariposa Foundation, we hope to not only celebrate their incredible work but also to inspire our members to get involved and contribute to making a significant impact in the lives of women and girls.

Join us in supporting the Mariposa Foundation—because together, we can empower, uplift, and transform communities, one girl at a time.
