The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and her countless philanthropic works and charitable campaigns have always been a source of immense support and courage to commoners who are in need. Even before tying the knot with the UK’s Prince Harry, the former American actress had already made her mark as one of the leading women in the industry. From helping working women with their corporate requirements to guarding homeless children, the Duchess has always been upfront in making a humanitarian difference in society. 

Prior to her recent Smart Works donation of 500 bags to working women, Meghan Markle had made an even bigger donation to society with a significant fund. In fact, this too was dedicated to helping working mothers with their career aspirations.

As reported by thepowersblogging, the Duchess in the month of October last year, launched a $1 million giveaway donation for women struggling with a financial crisis in their day-to-day lives. The report suggested that Markle drew her inspiration to take this step from her own award-winning podcast Archetypes on Spotify. Through her Archewell Foundation, she tied up with the VING Project to help raise funds. 

In the course of the same, the Duchess sent an open invitation to anyone between age 14-18 to “nominate a woman who has inspired them and defied life’s hardships” in case they knew any. She thereby called for the nominators for a chance of winning $1000 for bringing such women to her notice. In the announcement speech of the same movement, the Duchess took pride in the partnership and the “good they hope to see come from it.”
