My story

For 20 years, our organisation has been supporting women and girls through education, skills development, employment pathways, and entrepreneurship training. Across two decades, we have seen how access, encouragement, and community support can transform lives.

Today, we are launching an urgent campaign through Give as You Live to reach women and girls in the diaspora who are suffering in silence, cut off from support networks, and facing significant mental-health challenges. Many are isolated, unheard, and carrying emotional burdens alone.

Your support can help change that.

What We Are Doing

We are creating a series of activity-based classes designed to improve wellbeing, rebuild confidence, and strengthen communication skills. These safe, culturally aware sessions will give women and girls a space to reconnect, express themselves, and develop the tools needed to navigate daily challenges.

Alongside this, our Youth Internship Programme will provide young people with meaningful roles supporting delivery, outreach, and facilitation — building the next generation of community leaders.

Why This Matters

Women and girls in the diaspora face unique challenges:
• Social isolation
• Cultural displacement
• Language barriers
• Pressure to adapt while supporting family
• Mental-health strains that often go unnoticed

These experiences can lead to anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem. But with the right support, they can regain their confidence, find their voice, and rebuild their sense of belonging.

Your donation helps us offer exactly that.

Our 20-Year Legacy

For two decades, we have stood beside women and girls, helping them:
• Access education
• Gain skills
• Secure employment
• Start their own businesses
• Build leadership and independence

We have supported hundreds during the course of 20 years to step into their potential, and this new programme continues that legacy, strengthening wellbeing while opening doors to long-term skills and opportunities.

Our track record shows that when women and girls are supported, families thrive, communities grow stronger, and futures change for the better.

How Your Donation Helps

Your contribution will support:
• Help us with our running costs
• Qualified facilitators
• Wellbeing materials and activity resources
• Training for our youth interns
• Outreach to the most isolated women and girls
• Ongoing monitoring to ensure lasting impact

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us reach more women and girls who urgently need connection and support.

The Impact You Create

With your help, participants will:
• Build confidence and self-worth
• Improve communication and emotional expression
• Reduce stress and isolation
• Form supportive peer networks
• Access pathways to skills, learning, employment, and enterprise
• Feel seen, valued, and connected to their community

At the same time, young people will gain leadership experience that shapes their future and strengthens the community as a whole.

Be Part of Their Journey

Your generosity today helps change the lives of women and girls who have been facing their struggles alone. Together, we can reduce isolation, support mental wellbeing, and empower them with skills that strengthen their futures.

Please donate through Give as You Live and stand with us as we continue our 20-year mission of empowering women and girls to learn, lead, and thrive.
