About the campaign:
Giving Love is an initiative from 7 pages dedicated to Chloe Bennet and her work that try to make something diferente this year: in place of making videos or tags, we planned a campaign with founds donations to Community Empowerment, an ONG founded by Dr. Stephanie Crane, Chloe’s mom.
The idea came from a group chat on twitter dedicated to the actress still in 2017, it was worked for by the brazilian administrators of five pages (dailybennet, chloebbrasil, bennetbrasil, bestofbennet & badpostbennet) and introduced to the others pages (cbennetsource & chloebennetalerts) as a way to bring the fans together for something big!
The campaign will take place from March 18 until April 18, Chloe Bennet’s birthday! The donations will be throght Community Empowerment’s site and any value matters.
We want you to be part of it: will be a great gift, where everybody will build a little of a beautiful tribute. Be part of this Family!

Why Community Empowerment:
Besides the fact about Dr. Stephanie Crane (Chloe Bennet’s mom) be one of the founders of Community Empowerment, the actress already made two campaigns to raise founds to the foundation: Fight Like A Girl!

About Community Empowerment:
THEIR WORK :
Community Empowerment works in tandem with local leadership to provide essential health care, while creating a self-sustaining system in which our assistance is no longer needed.The first step is to work with our partner communities to identify their needs and provide regular medical and surgical care. Then, we help the communities form partnerships with existing medical and social services to ensure this care will be ongoing. We help establish a governing board over the clinics and provide training for medical students, residents, and medical providers. Ongoing care is ultimately provided by community health care workers, nurses and doctors.
PRIMARY CARE TEAMS: Primary care teams regularly work with local medical providers to provide training and care of chronic diseases.
SURGICAL CARE TEAMS: Surgical teams operate alongside local providers and provide medical and surgical education for medical students, residents and faculty members. Surgical care includes orthopedic, urology, gynecology and more.
INFASTRUCTURE SUPPORT: A business model for water purification and distribution services was created to provide ongoing infrastructure support. The sales from the potable water helps finance clinic operations, including the hiring of local medical providers and provides income to several needy families.
SUSTAINABILITY: We create permanent clinics staffed with local providers, whom we train, in order to provide long-term care to the community. We work to strengthen the local leadership so that they are able to take ownership of the primary care services and water purification and distribution activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Community Empowerment has been involved in Peralta, Dominican Republic since 2002, and Jerusalem Haiti since 2010. There have been hundreds of volunteers, ranging from medical, nursing, and physician assistant students, residents, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and physicians, who have participated in our work.
THEIR HISTORY
Dr. Crane envisioned partnering with underserved communities that wanted to improve access to primary care for its residents. In 2002, she selected the rural community of Peralta in southwestern Dominican Republic because there was strong local leadership and great need. In 2010, Dr. Crane and several Rush doctors and nurses provided emergency care in the immediate aftermath of the massive earthquake that struck Haiti. Afterwards, the decision was made to make a long-term commitment to working in Haiti using the same model that was successful in the Dominican Republic.
