Support Her Circle with a donation and help women create lasting change for themselves and their communities.
CARE Australia works with local communities to provide opportunities for women to earn an income, access their fair share of resources, lead and participate in decisions that affect their lives, and withstand the impacts of disasters and crises.
Make an individual or group donation
Bring together your friends, book club, or workmates to support Her Circle with a donation. There are countless ways you can fundraise in a group; from a gold-coin morning tea or lunch, to setting up a fundraiser on Facebook. You can raise funds to support leadership programs, training and opportunities for women to lead their communities out of poverty.
Your donation in action around the world …
Donations to CARE have helped achieve incredible results for women and their communities:
- Sexual harassment has been dramatically reduced in the garment industry across the Mekong region thanks to the STOP Sexual Harassment project.
- Women are overcoming financial hardships together, and saving money for their famies’ futures through Village Savings and Loans Associations.
- Female coffee farmers in Papua New Guinea have increased their yields and income thanks to the Boosting Coffee Production project.
- Women and girls in Vanuatu have been trained in leadership skills through the Leftemap Sista project.
- Migrant women in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam are accessing leadership opportunities in their communities thanks to the EMERGE project.
The Multiplier Effect
All over the world, we have seen women reinvest significant amounts of their income back into their families — and when a woman speaks, she speaks for others too. When she escapes poverty, she brings four others with her. We call this the ‘multiplier effect’.
The multiplier effect is based on decades of research from around the world that all concludes the same thing: even though women are the most impacted by poverty, they are also the key to overcoming it.
Our experience shows that when women are healthy and educated, their family will be too. When women earn an income, they invest it in the health and education of their children and families. It’s why we must clear the way for women to claim their fair share of resources, opportunities and decision-making power in order to create lasting change in their lives — and in the lives of the people around them.
All a woman needs is the right opportunity.
