<div>In Congo, too many women are alive… but not really living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’re surviving war, poverty, child marriage, widowhood, and abandonment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’ve been told to keep quiet, to endure, to settle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we believe it’s time to rewrite that story—with freedom, community, and self-reliance at the center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What We’re Building (With Your Help):
</div>
<div>10 Retirement Homes for elderly widows—real homes with clean beds, safe walls, and warm hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2 Community Farms to support child brides, orphans, and single mothers to grow food and futures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Microgrants for Women-led Businesses, because financial independence is the beginning of every “I made it.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Building Retirement Homes for Elderly Widows
</div>
<div>Many elderly women we serve are completely alone—widowed, forgotten, and living in unsafe conditions with no running water or protection. Some survive in makeshift shelters that barely keep the rain out, while health issues like poor mobility or chronic pain make daily life even harder.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we offer them help—food, medicine, or money—it can make them targets for robbery or abuse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why we’re building 10 safe, dignified retirement homes. These won’t be fancy, but they’ll be clean, accessible, and filled with care. Because after a lifetime of sacrifice, these women deserve more than survival—they deserve peace, stability, and respect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Power of Community Farms
</div>
<div>In Congo, hunger isn’t just about food—it’s about lack of opportunity. Many women and children can’t afford to eat, let alone grow or buy food consistently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re building two community farms that will feed families and create jobs—especially for single moms, child brides, widows, and orphans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These farms will provide:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Job training and stable income
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life skills for orphans and young mothers
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A place of belonging and healing for elderly women
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t charity—it’s a path from survival to self-reliance. These farms grow food, but more than that, they grow hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Helping Women Start Businesses
</div>
<div>Many women in extreme poverty—especially young mothers and child brides—have never had the chance to stand on their own. No school. No support. Just survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re changing that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With microgrants and training, we’ll help women launch tailoring shops, food stalls, farms, or beauty salons. We’ll guide them through business planning, budgeting, and building confidence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because when a woman earns her own income:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She gains safety and choices
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She feeds her kids consistently
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She breaks the cycle of poverty
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This part of Empower Her isn’t about handouts. It’s about investing in women who are ready to lead, even if no one ever believed in them before.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why It Matters:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When a woman has a roof, a meal, and her own money—she becomes unshakeable.
</div>
<div>She can protect her children.
</div>
<div>She can say no to abuse.
</div>
<div>She can start to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve seen women living in broken-down shelters, surviving off scraps, and targeted after receiving basic aid. We’ve met young girls raising babies with no help and no hope.
</div>
<div>But we’ve also seen what happens when they’re given just one chance.
</div>
<div>They rise. They lead. They give back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your Impact:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar helps build homes, buy seeds, teach a skill, and change a life.
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about charity.
</div>
<div>It’s about justice.
</div>
<div>It’s about creating safe places where women can stop surviving and start living.
</div>
<div>It’s about a little girl somewhere looking at her mother and finally seeing a future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join Us. Be the Reason She Rises. Empower Her Today
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
