Strong Women Strong World®

World Vision believes that it’s possible to end extreme poverty. But it won’t happen as long as half the world is held back from reaching their full potential.

We intentionally focus on women and girls in every aspect of our work because we know that when they gain equal access and opportunity children are better cared for, families are stronger, and communities are more prosperous. Click here to see this in action.

What we’re doing:

• She can be born healthy when her mother gains access to vital health information and a health clinic equipped with clean water through our health work
• She can go to school — instead of spending her days hauling dirty water from unsafe sources — when she gains access to clean water close to her home through our water work
• She can stay in class during menstruation when she gains access to private sanitary rooms, dedicated latrines, and clean water at school through our sanitation and hygiene work
• She can marry when and who she chooses when her community turns away from harmful traditional practices like child marriage and FGM through our child protection work
• And she can thrive economically when she gains access to agricultural and vocational training, savings groups, credit, and financial literacy through our economic empowerment work

Strong Women Strong World^® is World Vision’s movement of women, men, and young people using their voices and resources to drive change and improve the lives of women and girls globally.

In 2016, we made a commitment to equip 30 million women and girls to overcome the barriers that keep them from productive and fulfilled lives. In 2022, we exceeded that goal. Now we are stepping out in faith once again with an unprecedented aim of reaching 150 million women and girls across the globe by 2030.

Your gift to Strong Women Strong World will directly support programs that equip and empower women and girls.

Every $1 given to Strong Women Strong World will be matched with a $1 donation* to programs that empower women and girls, thanks to our generous SWSW partner, Clean Water Here.

Your support + their hard work = stronger communities. You can help women and girls lift themselves and their families out of extreme poverty, live healthier lives, and reach their full potential. When girls and women are empowered, everyone wins. And, when her potential is unleashed, extreme poverty doesn’t stand a chance.

Thank you.
