Economic Self Defense

"The economic implications of gender discrimination are most serious. To deny women, is to deprive a country of labor and talent. Women are the third world's greatest under utilized resource." -Sheryl WuDunn, Nicholas Kristof

At certain and carefully decided points, we must move from crisis alleviation to equipping and empowering, and by doing so, making our teams and local families, independent and self motivated. We believe in building safe houses where vulnerable girls can be brought to safety, complete with crops, live stock and water wells that will sustain their girls year round. We also believe in starting passive income businesses for the leaders that will cover the expenses of the girl's school fees, medical and personal needs, and their outreach missions making them fully self sustaining!
