Vulnerable and alone, Russian-speaking immigrants, specifically women, can fall prey to financial disarray, destitution and abuse in their adopted homes. Through its extensive research, educational programming and advocacy on the issues surrounding domestic violence in the Jewish community, Jewish Women International understands the first step to achieving peace in the home begins with financial security. The 65-page guide presents practical, step-by-step formulas for calculating an expense/income worksheet, real-life examples of money traps, Internet and telephone resources and the latest legal information on female trafficking statutes. It is designed with a keen introspect that takes into consideration language-skill limitations, societal disparities and differences in work cultures. The Denver-based National Endowment for Financial Education, an independent, nonprofit foundation dedicated to educating Americans about personal finance wrote and produced Creating Success: Russian-English Guide to Financial Security in the USA for Jewish Women International as a public service. Creating Success is available in bulk orders of 90 copies per carton. They are free but shipping costs will be charged.
