GIVE NOW

We believe all women deserve the opportunity to live free from poverty. Collaborating with global partners,
we fund microloans, training and services that enable women to start businesses,
support their families and strengthen their communities. We’re funded 100% by your charitable donations.

Since 2005, we’ve created hope and opportunity for thousands of women in the U.S. and around the world.
