Create a Safer World – Fight Terrorism Through Giving

Safer World Girls

Until funds run out, all donations will be matched 50%!

The Safer World Fund (formerly the philanthropic arm of Our Voices Together) began as a response of family and friends of loved ones killed in the terrorist acts of 9/11. It is now engaging many people who recognize how individuals can help fight terrorism. By supporting basic education, vocational training, and health care, these projects offer opportunities to impoverished people in the poorest areas of the world, especially girls and women.

Give today to the Safer World Fund, or to one of the individual projects supported by the Fund.

Start now and continuing until all funds are depleted, all contributions to the Safer World Fund, and the projects that comprise it, will be matched 50%, giving an extra boost to the impact your contributions will have. Individual donations up to $5,000, made online or via check, are eligible for matching.
