Sisters stronger together. United we can save lives.

The seasons change, but love and community remain, strong and constant. Could you help more communities around the world build a new life, full of hope?

In Malawi, women are struggling in the face of the climate crisis. Extreme weather is affecting crops; cyclones have destroyed homes, floods have washed away livestock.

The climate crisis is pushing them deeper into poverty. In the aftermath of floods, they have lost nearly everything. Food is scarce and there is no money to educate their children.

But people are uniting and changing their lives together.

With your support, women are joining forces to change their lives and overcome poverty.
