We’re now halfway through the month of December and have raised $4,300 of our $10,000 December goal. Thank you to those who have already donated! We appreciate your generosity and support and encourage you to help us spread the word!
Our plan is to raise $10,000 through our $20 in December giving campaign. 100% of the money raised will go directly to our partners in the Democratic Republic of Congo to fund safe houses for victims of sexual violence and to provide job training and microloans for the residents.
With your donations, women in the Congo will learn a valuable skill, create a small business, and be able to support themselves and their children. It really works.
Almost a year ago in one of our sponsored safe houses, women received sewing training to promote self-sufficiency and establish community. Today, they are sewing uniforms for the local hospital, and all of their children are in school. This is just one of many examples of CTA helping women take back control of their lives and livelihoods.
Please help us empower more women in terrible situations to do the same. This holiday season, give the gift of self determination. Help these women help themselves, their families, and their communities.
Thank you from the Care Through Action team, and happy holidays!
Our Challenge: Everyone donate just $20 in December 2011 and have a friend to do the same
Our Goal:
• Provide equipment and rotating credit funds for small business projects (sewing, bread making, basket-weaving) in 25 safe houses
• Provide small business and leadership training in each of the 31 safe houses to help them become self-sustaining within 3-5 years.
• Sustain the current facilities in eastern Congo
This holiday season give a gift of hope…
