Women For Women International: Day Five A Week Of Holiday Giving To Women In Need

Women For Women International is day five of our A Week Of Holiday Giving To Women In Need

Give a gift to a woman in need.

For many women, Christmas is a day like any other. They are using all their resources to merely exist. Holiday cheer is a foreign language, lacking a translation.

There are so many women who do not have a hot meal or a safe space.

Some are desperate for a means to support themselves and their family. Every mother wishes for an opportunity to better their children.

Many must spend all their day just getting clean water.

And there are many young girls who are being forced to be women way before their time.

Whether you cast your net wide to underdeveloped countries or stay close to home, there are many reputable organizations that are waiting for your support to gift and lift a woman in need.

In this series, we share a list of some organizations that make a difference in women’s lives and encourage you to share your Christmas with someone in need.

Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person. ~ Anonymous
