The empower-a-woman campaign directly supports women's self-sufficiency programs

You can help us empower a woman by giving her the gift of work! The funds received from this campaign are used to implement micro-economic projects and business opportunities for women. When donors enroll in this program, they support Sudan-Reach with a gift of just $5 a month. (That's $60 a year and its tax deductible!)

Every month, Sudan-Reach will deduct $5 from your credit card or checking account. Its that simple. For only $5 a month, you could change a life!

An example of how our small-scale projects can translate into large-scale impact is evident through the experience of Rajaa. Rajaa was a determined young woman whose goal was to start a business--an International calling center. When she met Sudan-Reach in 2005 she was given a grant to start taking classes and soon thereafter she started a small business selling cosmetics. By the following year, she had almost saved enough money to start her calling center. With an additional grant from Sudan-Reach in 2007 she purchased the equipment needed to start her business and today she is the proud owner of Manshia Telephone Communications Center--which enables clients to place long distance and local telephone calls.

Rajaa's success would not have been possible without the generous support of Sudan-Reach's donors who fund the Empower-a-Woman campaign which makes employment and business opportunities available to women. Donor's to this campaign give $5, $10, or $20 a month to help us continue our work. Rajaa's story is proof that these contributions really do make a difference.
