Story

An income gives women in rural Darfur villages freedom of choice and ability to make decisions for their families for the first time ever. Almost invariably village leaders are men. Our sustainable projects give women a voice in their communities. Goat Loans, Donkeys, and Midwife & Paravet training give women incomes and change their status. Your help will enable women to build better, life-changing futures for themselves and their children.

Impact

We will never adopt a village unless the all fully support the empowerment of women. Giving a woman the tools & resources to earn an income and change her life will, in the long-term, change the lives of future generations and end the poverty cycle. We train the poorest members of the village to run village committees and make crucial decisions for their communities. This brings a huge positive transformation to the village and because our projects are sustainable, more women benefit over time.

Challenge

Women are left alone in appalling conditions in Darfur while their husbands leave in search of work. Without any form of income, women are not respected or treated as equals, they do not have a say on any village matters. With no money they have no power over their own lives. Children suffer because the family cannot afford to send them to school, so the cycle of poverty continues. Food insecurity is common across Darfur. Imagine how a mother must feel not to be able to feed her children.
