About a third of the world’s population has never used the internet; most are women and girls who are disconnected from learning, careers and independence – especially during crises. By giving this gift, you’ll help young women access fundamental tech and online skills to keep pace, create businesses and succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. Your gift can set up development centres that are equipped with tech tools and offer training in digital literacy, computer programs, internet use and more. It will also teach the use of mobile wallets and digitization of financial services like village savings and loans associations – all of which help empower women to securely store, easily track and quickly withdraw funds so they can be more self-reliant.
This eco-conscious gift will support women and youth in growing businesses that nourish communities and help the planet flourish. It works to sustain environments, food availability and incomes with training and supplies for ventures like seaweed farming, mushroom foraging and beekeeping. This gift also helps protect regions most vulnerable to climate disasters with community-led initiatives like mangrove planting and conservation to reduce storm dangers and damage.
Girls Belong Everywhere
Girls' perspectives belong everywhere decisions are made. This gift engages girls in Canada and around the world, including those in refugee camps, in decision making. Through seat shares, advisory panels, innovation hubs, consultation sessions and more, this gift helps girls have meaningful interactions with governments, corporations and civil-society organizations. It supports training for girls that builds their leadership skills as well as community sessions for girls' perspectives to be both heard and factored into decisions.
Digital Safe Spaces for Girls
Support girls in bridging the digital divide, by providing equal access to information technology and safe online spaces. This gift will provide safe online spaces where girls can learn about their rights and share their opinions without fear of discrimination or harassment. Help ensure girls can build thriving communities unbound by borders.
