Save the Storks Empowers Local Pregnancy Centers With New Program

March 11, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Today, Save the Storks launched its nationwide Partner Program. The program is designed to holistically transform pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) to reach more abortion-vulnerable women in their communities through marketing, operations, fundraising and leadership development.

“We believe PRCs have a great calling and are called to greatness,” said Megan Webb, Partner Program Manager. “PRCs are at the forefront of the pro-life movement providing care, counseling, material resources and medical services to women in need. Our goal is to provide wrap-around consulting services at no cost to PRCs, so they are better equipped to serve women in their communities. We believe the work they do is vital to changing the conversation around what it means to be pro-life and pro-woman.”

In order to become a Save the Storks’ Partner, a center must be willing to work towards becoming a medical PRC with ultrasound technology. According to data from pro-life networks Heartbeat International, Care Net and NIFLA, six out of every 10 pregnancy centers in the U.S.—1,661 total—provide free obstetric ultrasounds.

“Our program exists for the next generation of pregnancy centers,” said Diane Ferraro, CEO of Save the Storks. “These centers have to be equipped to compete with other providers in the healthcare marketplace.”

Planned Parenthood’s latest report shows they perform 41 abortions for every one prenatal care service, and their prenatal care overall dropped by more than 1,100 people in 2020. This is where PRCs can step into that gap and provide true healthcare to women.

Save the Storks evaluates each program applicant and creates a custom, comprehensive action plan to enhance the overall effectiveness of the organization. The action plan focuses on a variety of initiatives, including marketing, fundraising, center redesigns or big goals the center needs help accomplishing — all at no cost to the Partner.

But that’s just the beginning – after completing the action plan, centers will become a “Certified Save the Storks Partner.” As a Partner, they will have access to on-going industry leading services and training from Save the Storks and will be part of a nationwide network of like-minded centers driven by excellence.

“Save the Storks has a standard that is above reproach,” said Renee Gray, executive director of Life Choice Pregnancy Center in Cheyenne, Wyo. “They make you feel like they’ve got your back, and they’re in the trenches with you. They welcomed and adopted us into their family in ways that we have never had before.”

About Save the Storks

Save the Storks exists to inspire cultural change by shaping compelling pro-life narratives and empowering strategic partners to serve and value every life. The organization partners with pregnancy resource centers across the United States to empower women with choice during pregnancy.

Millions of American Women Are Actively Engaging With The Life-Affirming Social Media Account ‘Giving Everyday’

March 11, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Marketers Targeting Women, Ages 25-44, Are Urged to Explore Advertising and Sponsorship Opportunities With Giving Everyday

The Instagram and Facebook accounts of the Giving Everyday Charitable Trust (www.GivingEveryday.org), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization promoting American unity and societal healing via simple (but profound) acts of kindness, are achieving immense audience engagement rates, far surpassing industry standards. The average audience demographic of 82% women on Instagram make the account a natural fit for women-oriented brands in the fashion, beauty, healthcare industries, just to name a few.

While the Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GivingEveryDay.org) engagement rate of 42% decimates the average influencer rate of 2% or 3%, the Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/givingeveryday/) statistics are staggering, with an engagement rate of 239% (measured from 2/11-2/18/21) also compared with an industry standard of 2% to 3%. These figures, coupled with video views in excess of 2.2 million, and “Reels” views of over 10 million (between 2/1-2/18/21) make the case for marketer involvement with the accounts a very persuasive one.

The Giving Everyday Charitable Trust has excited fans across the USA, and beyond, with their social media posts. The organization will soon be recruiting Americans for the hopefully viral “Giving Army” project where “troops” will accept the commitment to perform one act of kindness per day. Future projects include the Annual Kindness Awards and a YouTube channel.

The Giving Everyday social media posts focus on genuine, and often very moving, acts of kindness that Americans perform for loved ones and complete strangers. Video posts naturally elicit the highest rate of interaction and response. Recently, the organization’s Instagram account conducted its first “Kindness Challenge Giveaway” where followers from across the USA (and Europe) shared an act of kindness they performed over the three days of the contest.

Companies that sponsor these accounts will derive the dual benefits of exceptional advertising reach as well as the community goodwill derived for sponsoring such a positivity-based organization.

Interested marketers are invited to reach out to Lauren Horowitz at GivingEveryday247@gmail.com.

Overseas Adventure Travel Fosters Women’s Independence through Life-changing Solo Travel

March 8, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

80,000+ solos have traveled with O.A.T. in past five years

Overseas Adventure Travel, the leader in solo-friendly travel for women over 50, honors strong and adventurous women travelers in celebration of International Women’s Day. Boldly exploring the globe, experiencing new cultures, and connecting with others from every walk of life, solo women travelers push the boundaries of what’s possible for all women.

Solo women travelers help to enrich the lives of the people they’ll meet along the way – often women and girls in far-flung countries – just as their lives will be enriched by the discoveries they will make on their journeys.

More than 80,000 solo travelers have traveled with O.A.T. in the last five years, and more than half of O.A.T. travelers are solo women. The company has 38,000 solo women travelers who have reserved travel for 2021 and 2022. O.A.T. offers Free Single Supplements on 92% of its 30,000 single spaces to support solo travelers.

Women supporting women
In the spirit of women supporting women, O.A.T. issued the complimentary NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers. The booklet compiles advice primarily from O.A.T.’s most seasoned solo women travelers and was edited by O.A.T. Vice Chairman Harriet Lewis.

The NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers, written specifically for the mature woman, shares tips on top solo-friendly destinations; specific regions of the world; solo travel safety; money matters; and etiquette, dining, and culture. Anyone may request a complimentary copy of the NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers (or view it) at http://www.oattravel.com/community/101-tips.

For many O.A.T. solo women travelers, the best part of their adventures is the support through O.A.T. travel for Grand Circle Foundation projects, many of which focus on women and girls. The organization’s community development, for example, establishes the means for women and village leaders to create sustainable changes in their communities to become economically self-sufficient.

Personalization = Independence
Solo travelers, by definition, are independent, and options to personalize their travels are appealing. For 2022, 85% of O.A.T. travelers are choosing to personalize their experiences in more than 80 countries.

O.A.T. is the only travel company to offer the level of flexibility and choice it does, so solo travelers can create an experience that is truly personalized. Travelers may:

— Choose a pre-trip or post-trip extension. Pre- and post- options lower travelers’ average per-day costs and enable them to take advantage of international airfare.
— Arrive early or stay later to “break away” and explore a destination entirely on their own.
— Choose an O.A.T. Stopover. O.A.T. offers 3-night stopovers in cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Rome.
— Combine two or more adventures. Consecutive trips allow travelers to avoid the expense and length of another international flight.
— Customize air preferences, such as choosing departure city and airline.

To learn more about O.A.T., please visit http://www.oattravel.com or call 1-800-955-1925.

Australia joins its Pacific partners to celebrate International Women’s Day

March 7, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

This International Women’s Day, Australia stands with its partners in Samoa to celebrate women’s achievements and their critical role in effective COVID-19 responses.

International Women’s Day (IWD) is held on 8 March every year around the world to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

‘This International Women’s Day we join our partners around the Pacific and in Samoa to celebrate women’s achievements and ensure that in responding to COVID-19 we listen to women and meet their priorities and needs,’ said Australian High Commissioner, Her Excellency Sara Moriarty.

‘Recognising how COVID-19 affects women and men differently is fundamental to an effective economic response and recovery in Samoa, and a priority for the Australian Government’s Partnerships for Recovery.’

An analysis of significant gender equality opportunities and challenges during COVID-19 is detailed in a Thematic Brief for ‘Gender and COVID-19 in the Pacific: Gendered impacts and recommendations for response’.

The Thematic Brief, significantly updated for release on IWD, has been developed through Australia’s Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women) program in collaboration with its Pacific partners – Pacific Women connects a portfolio of more than 160 partners implementing over 170 initiatives. It can be found at www.pacificwomen.org.fj

‘We know women in the Pacific have been disproportionately impacted by border closures, lockdowns and school closures.; They face far higher economic insecurity and vulnerability, unemployment and their burden of unpaid childcare and housework has increased.’

‘Given women are impacted more than men by crises such as COVID-19, their inclusion in response and recovery is absolutely critical and we continue to support the government and partners of Samoa for a gender-inclusive approach,’ said Ms Moriarty.

‘The same can be said about the need to prioritise women and girls with disabilities decision-making and response planning.’

The Australian Government remains committed to its gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) partnerships in Samoa especially during crises such as COVID-19.

‘This International Women’s Day let’s celebrate women’s many achievements and acknowledge the need to support a COVID-19 response that considers the different priorities of women and men,’ said Ms Moriarty.
