Power Her Path…

May 1, 2026

We’re delighted to support FAWCO’s 2026-2028 Target Project: Power Her Path with the Pacific Links Foundation by funding a challenge grant in memory of our friend, Janelle Mason.

Every three years, FAWCO member clubs around the world select a Target Project to support through fundraising, awareness, and global collaboration. Target Project 6.0 (2025-2028), Power Her Path, supports Pacific Links Foundation in helping survivors of human trafficking in Vietnam rebuild their lives through education, career training, and long-term support.

Together, FAWCO members are working to create pathways to independence, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods for women rebuilding their futures.

Janelle Mason was a dedicated and deeply engaged member of the FAWCO community, known for her warmth, generosity, and commitment to supporting others. She served on the FAWCO Board as Secretary from 2008–2009 and was elected 2nd Vice President for the 2009–2011 term, playing a key role in connecting member clubs and strengthening the organization. Beyond her leadership within FAWCO, Janelle devoted her career to education—teaching, mentoring, and supporting students across a range of settings, including her work as an English teacher and educator in both the United States and Switzerland.

This matching grant has been established in her honor, reflecting the values she embodied and her belief in creating opportunities for others.
