How can I help women in Africa?
Choose a women's empowerment cause and give online. Choose a cause, enter your amount in US dollars and pay securely by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and 100+ coins). You get an email receipt straight away and a field report every quarter.
Do small business grants for women work?
A small grant with a year of mentoring helps women start or grow a business. We report how many businesses are still trading after 12 months.
How do you support safe motherhood?
We train midwives and fund emergency transport to hospital, and record every birth attended and every transfer completed.
