Believing in women empowerment, I’ve
signed up to The High Heel Dash – Malaysia First High Heel Race happening this
May 23rd 2015 at The Square, Publika in support of women, and all
women entrepreneurs. It will be a chic all-day event that brings together hundreds of dashers for
50m of fun competition. Live entertainment, great food, fabulous women-centric
businesses, inspiring talks and activities, plus fabulous prizes are in store

Why Fundraise?
You'll help
provide a safe space for abused women to heal.
Each RM100 will
contribute to more beds, cupboards and other furniture for a growing number of
more than 300 women and their children seeking refuge.
The Women’s Aid
Organisation has been providing shelter to abused women and children for 33
years; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The population of women seeking help from
WAO has increased over the years. As the shelter is aging due to wear and tear
in times of high occupancy, WAO needs aid in renovating the shelter to meet the
need for more beds and to maximize the current space in order to support the
increased capacity.
The High Heel
Dash is supporting this initiative, and you can too - when you become a
fundraiser to join the Dash! The funds you raise will make a significant impact
on the maintenance of the shelter and ensures a comfortable living space for
the women in need.
