388 million women and girls live in extreme poverty around the world forcing them to be more vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Not having resources makes it more difficult to break the cycle of extreme poverty, and minimizing the opportunity of becoming all she can be. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can provide women and girls safe housing, health, education and more importantly, a community where she feels loved and valued. A gift of just $60 a month can support a girl to attend a boarding school for an entire school year.

Become a Catalyst, our monthly giving community, and you’ll unite with women and girls around the world each and every month.

Provide safe housing and education to women and girls in 2023

Educated girls become empowered women who transform communities.
