Our Programs

 

"There's a growing recognition among everyone from the World Bank to the U.S. Military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to aid organizations like CARE that focusing on women and girls is the most effective way to fight  global poverty and extremism. That's why foreign aid is increasingly directed to women." 

Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times

Program Selection

Program selection is based on specific criteria. Our collective donations make the greatest impact when the nonprofit organization we choose reaches women at the grass-roots level while promoting self-sufficiency. We support programs that train women in a vocation, increase their level of education, improve their health and encourage economic independence.
