Double Your Impact for Mothers Like Irene
$60 raised of $323,000 goal.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, mothers like Irene fight every day to provide for their children. With limited income and scarce opportunities, the cycle of poverty feels impossible to break.
But with vocational training and the right tools, Irene started her own sewing business, giving her family stability and hope.
Right now, every dollar you donate will be matched, doubling your impact for women like Irene. But hurry—matched giving ends April 14 or when we reach our $323,000 target.
Act now to make twice the impact.
