Saying Farewell

Dear Light My Fire Friends, Donors and Grantees:

For thirteen years, Light My Fire’s mission has been to promote the health and education of women and girls in the developing world. We have lit many fires. 

Now it is time to say farewell as we extinguish our flame as a nonprofit. We will continue individually to support women in the developing world and encourage you to join us.

Our activities have educated us significantly about women’s efforts to better their communities and the dilemmas they face. They inspired us to educate others about the vital contributions women in the developing world make to family, sisters in need, and women’s
advancement.

We have donated over $550,000 to 84 grantees in Africa, Central and South America, and South Asia. Our grantees reach from Fiji to Russia. 

We feel we have made a real difference in the lives of many women and communities. To learn more about what we have accomplished as volunteers, please visit our website, www.lightmyfirefund.org

It has been a privilege to receive your support and work alongside you.  Thank you for thirteen years of an incredibly rewarding experience.

Warmly, Ellen Boneparth, President, Light My Fire 

And the Light My Fire Advisory Board: Barbara Friedman, Lydia Austin, Kimberly Weichel, Michael Rosenthal, Salimata Sanfo
