We empower women and children because...

 


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
