Some changes....
By Catharina van den Bosch | Founder/Director
Dear donors to our economic empowerment project,
As management we have reviewed our fundraising efforts on GlobalGiving and we feel that we should consolidate our projects on GlobalGiving to make it easier for potential donors to choose. For this reason we have decided to run two projects, one for women in crisis and one for children in crisis. Economic empowerment will remain a vital part of our assistance to women in crisis so for this reason this project will be integrated with the women in crisis project. If you are a recurrent donor your donations will automatically be diverted to the women in crisis project.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you for your faithful support to our vital work with women and children.
Yours sincerely,

"From trauma to triumph"
Mrs. Hana*, is a single mother of three children. She faced immense hardships after migrating to Saudi Arabia, enduring both horrific abuse and economic struggles which made her return to her home in Tigray, where she started a small business.
With the onset of the Tigray conflict, her situation worsened as her business was looted, making her destitute and depressed. Through our program’s support—counseling, skill training, and funding—she has restarted her business, is in better mental health, and is contributing to her community. Her story isn’t just of survival; it symbolizes thriving against all odds.
Join us in fueling transformations like Mrs. Hana’s.
Your contribution empowers more survivors to rebuild their lives and inspire change. Together, let’s create a ripple effect of hope and resilience.

"From dark to bright future!”
Meet Mrs. Letebrahan A., a resilient widow with 4 children from North Western Tigrai. After losing her husband in the conflict, she was in a difficult situation as there was no source of income to cover expenses for her children. She felt depressed, stressed and withdrew from her social life and lived dependently with her relatives. Amidst the darkness, hope emerged through our economic empowerment service project. She received basic business and positive parenting skills training and now runs a successful small shop. With our support, she’s feeding her children daily and sends them to school, saving for a brighter future and re-engaged with her community. Ongoing support and follow-up have been fruitful, and she is planning to expand her business. Her story of hope and progress inspires us all. Mrs. Letebrhan A.’s journey from despair to hope is a testament to self confidence and resilience. With continued support, stories like hers show that change is possible.
