Heritage Fundraising Wall

This virtual brick wall celebrates GWI’s 105 anniversary on 11 July 2024 and will remain open for donations during the milestone year ending 11 July 2025.

GWI’s latest fundraising campaign is the 500+Challenge: The Power of Many Empowering Education. The campaign is focused on creating a collective impact by bringing together the power of 500 individual donors. Our goal is to inspire 500 individuals to donate $10, $20 per month or whatever amount they feel comfortable with. By pooling supporter resources, GWI is amplifying the impact of each individual contribution and make meaningful changes in girls’ education and women’s lifelong education and training.

Teachers for Rural Futures

GWI is working to increase the number of girls that go to school. In rural areas of Uganda, a huge number of girls are not enrolled in school or forced to drop out, in part due to a lack of women teachers. Our project will support 50 young women from rural Uganda to become qualified secondary school teachers and ambassadors for girls’ education. This will provide access to quality education for 2000 children per year and vital role models to improve girls’ enrollment.
