Everything we do revolves around our mission to empower
women and children through evidence-based health, education, and advocacy.
We’re passionate about this mission and believe we’re on the right track. A
wealth of research has shown that gender equality and women's empowerment
are essential to ending extreme poverty and promoting strong communities. Why?
Because empowered women and girls share valuable knowledge and act as agents
of change in their communities. That means better health and wellbeing for
all.
Take Sangeeta Poudel for example. Sangeeta saw the needs
around her, knew the health worker shortage and lack of access to care for so many
in her community, and had a deep desire to serve. She became trained as a volunteer
health worker with HealthEd Connect to provide basic health care in her
community, but she wanted to do more! Sangeeta applied for a professional
nurse training scholarship available through HealthEd Connect, and through this
investment in Sangeeta’s education, everyone has benefited. When
Sangeeta isn’t working as a nurse at the local hospital, you can find her
volunteering to share valuable health education and front-line care within
communities in Biratnagar, Nepal. Girls are watching and making plans to
follow in Sangeeta’s footsteps.
Your contribution to HealthEd Connect
empowers girls to reach their full potential and be agents of change,
like Sangeeta. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, the biggest donation day of the year, and we’re asking
for your help to ensure that girls not just survive but thrive!
We have a match
opportunity available through tomorrow – a perfect way to double your
impact! Please help us reach our dollar-for-dollar goal of $25,000 by
midnight PST on Giving Tuesday, December 1st.

This sweet woman is crying because she's deeply touched
that Sangeeta reached out to show compassion and care
