During its first seven years Women\u2019s Bank has been growing and developing with the help of its wonderful volunteers and dedicated staff. They have passed the message on and encouraged Finns to make donations for the improvement of women\u2019s working conditions in developing countries.\u00a0In this period we have been able to support approximately 15 000 women in their fight against poverty. All the work we do is precious.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0passing over \u00a0the\u00a0duties of the chair\u00a0I would like to thank you all. You have been a great support. I wish Women\u2019s Bank to remain a community everyone can easily join and work in. The nature of the work should involve task sharing and rotating:\u00a0team play at its best. We are all united by a mission which never expires. Our dream is and will be: a\u00a0new chance and a\u00a0better life for our sisters who live in very difficult conditions.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Bank is now seven years old. This first grader is eager to learn more, continuously excited. The future looks bright, the world full of possibilities. Especially for those who want to take\u00a0the chance and are prepared to work for it.<\/p>\n

It was delightful to visit the birthplace of Women\u2019s Bank in Liberia and to discover the miracle that was achieved by a wise group of women in 2007. When a Liberian chicken farmer can provide meals twice a day for her family, or a young mother who has been through hard times can still dream, we have reason to rejoice in Women\u2019s Bank. Thank you very much and congratulations to all volunteers \u2013 to us!<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Bank is one of the best things that have taken place in the development cooperation during this millennium. Therefore I will\u00a0take the\u00a0role of chair at Women\u2019s Bank\u00a0\u00a0with enthusiasm. I have a strong belief that the chain from woman to woman works. In order to avoid cutting that chain we need the enthusiastic people and brilliant ideas, innovation, persistence and joy of acting. Most of all, we need a big heart.<\/p>\n
