Help Women Feed the World

Women Thrive's annual brochure looks back on what we have been able to accomplish on behalf of the world's women and girls in 2014, all thanks to your support. Please click here to read our brochure and learn more about the impact that your gift has made. 

A few highlights from this year: 

• Spearheading the #No1Nowhere campaign to push for the International Violence Against Women Act currently in Congress. We were met with inspiring enthusiasm from thousands of allies around the world from entertainers, elected officials, and religious leaders. To participate in the campaign, visit www.no1nowhere.com
• Facilitating a 2-day capacity-building workshop in Nairobi, Kenya with 50 educational leaders from over 20 Sub-Saharan countries. Participants learned and practiced new skills to advocate for issues like girls' education and violence against girls. Women Thrive has created a training guide to help other civil society organizations improve advocacy skills.
• Convening a critical summit on women’s economic opportunity. At our recent summit, “Out of Extreme Poverty: Women Leading the Way”, we brought three extraordinary women—Lydia from Ghana, Sylvia from Nicaragua, and Abbigal from Zimbabwe—to sit down with the World Bank, IFC, State Department, USAID, corporations, foundations and NGOs to encourage greater investments specifically in women’s leadership, capacity building and training. 

Thank you for your support in 2014. You have made a world of difference in helping empower women and girls globally.
