Everyday women are making the world a better place as doc­ tors, farmers, mothers, businesswomen, and so much more. Check out this list of ways to empower women around the world in honour of International Women's Day: 1. Microfinance: Micro loans are a cut­ ting-edge way of supporting entrepreneurs in the developing world. With this technol­ ogy, women without access to banks can receive loans that can change their lives and have a positive impact in their commu­ nity. If you're interested in small businesses and social entrepreneurship, look for a non­ profit that will help you provide micro loans to women in need. 2. Education: Now more than ever, the world needs educated women. Women who have received an education - especially at a higher level - help their families and com­ munities in endless ways. if you want to help make women's dreams of education a reality, check out organizations like Beauti­ ful World Canada, that provide comprehen­ sive scholarships to women in sub-Saharan Africa. 3. Healthcare: Women cannot succeed without access to healthcare. Unfortunate­ ly, all around the world- including developed regions - women lack the basic care they need. Protect women's right to healthcare by supporting one of the hundreds of dedi­ cated non-profits working hard around the globe.

Connie McCulloch-Jensen Connie has been a proponent of women's opportunities in business throughout her 29 years at Jensen Tire. Her roles as company president and the mother of four incredibly strong, independent girls (Jessica, Britney, Shelby and Summer) have kept her busy. When combined with her willingness to get involved in the community, she often finds that there is not enough of her to go around. Now that she's a grandmother to Wyatt, another wonderful girl, Connie values the time that she is able to spend with her. As the owner of Oakville's favourite tire and rim shop, Connie is proud of what Jensen Tire brings to the community. Her pride extends to the 15+ full time staff and the superior service that they provide.
