She survived the war. Now
she needs a way to live.
Desdai Women’s Hope opens doors for marginalized women and girls in Yumbe District and the Bidibidi refugee settlement: skills, savings groups, education, and income. Your gift builds the first version of that work. Not a budget line. A beginning.

The Woman You're Funding
She crossed a border with her children and nothing else. She learned a new language to survive. She stretches what she has further than seems possible.
What she doesn’t have is a skill she can sell. A savings group to join. A classroom that will take her back.
She isn’t waiting to be rescued. She’s waiting for a door.
That’s the only thing standing between her and the life she’s capable of building.
What We Do With Your Money
Skills Training
Practical trades the local market needs: sewing, catering, craft production, value addition. Income-ready from day one.
Savings Groups (VSLAs)
Small circles of women saving together, lending to each other, building real capital from pocket change.
School Re-Entry
For school dropouts and young mothers: school fees, uniforms, books, and mentorship to help them stay this time.
Leadership Development
Training women for treasurer roles, chairwoman positions, community leadership. Building the pipeline, not just the skills.
Rights Awareness
Because skills and savings only go so far if harmful norms go unchallenged.
Business Start-Up Support
Business training, market linkages, help getting products from "made" to "sold."

The Woman You're Funding
When you give to an established charity, your money joins a budget. It keeps something running that’s already running.
When you give to Desdai Women’s Hope, your money builds the first version of something. You fund the first training cohort. You seed the first savings groups. You buy the first sewing machine, the first set of training materials, the first ledger book.
The women waiting for that first meeting are waiting right now. The first time one of them learns a skill she can use, that’s because someone gave before there was anything to show for it.
That’s what you’re doing here.
