International Women’s Day
Join us to support Village Leaders helping exploited women discover freedom, and save vulnerable girls from a life of horrific trafficking.
$250: 1 Community Village Leader | 1 village | 1 year. TOgether we can make a difference!
Support Community Village Leaders
March 8th is International Women’s Day. This is a great opportunity to raise awareness of issues of abuse and marginalisation encountered by thousands of women around the world. It is a platform for people to support our Community Village Leaders who work to combat abuse. These brave women ensure abused women have access to healthcare, counselling and support, and are empowered to recover freedom, dignity and hope. Community Village Leaders also work to ensure vulnerable girls are protected from trafficking, and can live lives of opportunity and dreams.
A Community Village Leader is a woman who has left the illegal practice of systemic abuse, received training, and returns to her community to prevent the trafficking of vulnerable girls into the practice, and assist other women to find freedom and hope.
Every $250 funds 1 Community Village Leader in 1 village for 1 year.
Just $250 supports a Community Village Leader for 1 year in 1 village.
This provides paid and respectable work to women who have left systemic abuse, restoring their dignity and empowering them to help more women in more villages. They also prevent the trafficking of girls from their village, saving them from a life of pain.
We currently have Community Village Leaders in 350 villages and need to continue to support them. But we want to do more. We want to reach into more villages so more women are set free, and more little girls protected. To do this, we need to raise more increments of $250.
Organise your own local fundraiser!
Each year, women support women by organising their own local fundraisers. We have seen Indian cooking mornings, high-teas, clothes swaps, craft mornings, movie nights to name a few. Invite your friends and use this day to share about this transformative work, raise funds for an impacting project, and have a lot of fun doing it.
