Dear Crossroader,
I am honoured to share with you this year's Annual Report. Over the past 12 months, Crossroads International has expanded our work across 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting women and girls in the communities that need it most.
In this time of political uncertainty, climate change, and rising extremism, our collective commitment to equality, social and economic empowerment and justice is more important than ever.
In February 2025, I had the privilege of joining generous donors on the Charity Challenge trip to Senegal. Together, we fundraised, visited inspiring projects, and witnessed first-hand the direct impact of your support and the determination of the women and girls we support.
One unforgettable moment was hearing girls speak about their rights with confidence and conviction. It was a testament to the safe spaces our partners have created, where girls can learn, lead, and dream big.
Meeting our local partners was profoundly moving—their dedication and expertise are at the heart of every success. They are not only driving change in their communities but also building the foundation for long-term sustainability.
This year, with our partners, we piloted new initiatives, expanded proven programs and secured critical funding to support our partners, especially amidst international aid cuts. We worked alongside 56 local partners, many partners in Canada, and 124 volunteers to reach a total of 480,070 community members, all made possible thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.
In this time of political uncertainty, climate change, and rising extremism, our collective commitment to equality and justice is more important than ever.
I hope that the stories and images shared in this report illustrate the profound impact of your commitment, and we look forward to another year of shared success with your continued partnership.
Thank you for standing with us and for helping to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
With gratitude,
Heather Shapter
Executive Director
Crossroads International
Crossroads International is dedicated to learning from and addressing the needs of our partner organizations and the women and girls they support. We prioritize programs based on their expressed needs and collaborate with experienced organizations in women’s rights and gender equality. This partnership allows us to understand and respond to the evolving needs of marginalized women and girls. Our holistic, gender-transformative, and sustainable approach to development is grounded in collaboration and consultation with those we serve.
Crossroads International works to overcome poverty and advance gender equality in 10 countries; Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Eswatini, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda.
We are creating an equitable and sustainable world by engaging and empowering individuals, organizations and communities through mutual learning, solidarity and collective action.
ONE WORLD where poverty is eliminated, equality prevails, and the rights of women and girls are fulfilled.

A major highlight was the visit to APROFES (Association pour la Promotion de la Femme Sénégalaise), a long-standing Crossroads partner that has spent over four decades championing women’s rights in Senegal. Through their network of more than 330 micro-financing groups, APROFES is supporting thousands of women to achieve economic independence. Their efforts include dozens of flourishing market gardens, where women farmers—many of whom started with nothing—now lead some of the most successful agricultural cooperatives in the country. These enterprises have enabled them to fund health insurance, build local pharmacies and dispensaries, reinvest in their land and equipment and become champions of climate resilience. The social impact is just as profound, with women reporting improved self-esteem and significantly reduced gender-based violence in their communities.
The Charity Challenge was more than a journey—it was a firsthand look at the power of partnership, the strength of community, and the critical role donors like you play in our mission to advance gender equality and reduce poverty.
Crossroads International, along with its partners from Eswatini (The Women Farmer Foundation) and Togo (Women in Law and Development Africa – WiLDAF-AO), actively participated in CSW69, contributing to key conversations around women’s economic empowerment, poverty reduction, climate resilience, and ending gender-based violence. The delegation shared local innovations, challenges, and lessons learned from community-led initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa.
Empowering Rural Women Through Agribusiness: Insights from Eswatini

Redefining Masculinity and Preventing Violence: Fatherhood Programs in Action
Mr. Sonic Dlamini, Executive Director of Kwakha Indvodza, in Eswatini, spoke about the success of the “Babe Locotfo” (Fatherhood Initiative), supported by Crossroads. “Our work strengthens norms and values that promote respectful, nurturing, and gender-equitable relationships, but despite our success, we still need to develop community-based mechanisms that prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and violence. Without this, we risk losing ground in both HIV and gender-based violence prevention efforts.”
Beyond Beijing+30: Strengthening Feminist Solidarity and Action
Crossroads International’s participation in CSW69 reaffirmed its commitment to advancing locally led, gender transformative approaches to gender equality. We humbly continue to work closely with grassroots partners in sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring that women's voices are at the center of development strategies. As the global community reflects on 30 years since Beijing, Crossroads and its partners are doubling down on their efforts to ensure that the next decade delivers transformative, inclusive, and sustainable change for ALL women and girls.
The night before the festivities commenced, long-time alumni and supporters, dedicated Crossroads staff members and our expected panelists (Crossroaders themselves), convened for an intimate gathering to reminisce on colourful memories and network with each other. It was an evening filled with warmth, storytelling, and shared laughter, as recounts of past experiences poured in, and connections were rekindled.
Attendees had the opportunity to participate in two concurrent workshops, thoughtfully led by fellow Crossroaders, Rose Egolet and Dominique Denoncourt: “Importance of mental health in the world of volunteering” and “Advocacy in the context of international development”. The workshops provided a space to share experiences and learn useful tools, skills and knowledge to remain impactful in their volunteer mandates and daily advocacy.
A highlight of the day featured a celebration of exemplary volunteers for their meaningful dedication to the mission of Crossroads. The organization awarded select volunteers for their achievements in public engagement, fundraising, championing gender equality, continued commitment beyond their mandates, and serving as positive influences. Awardees spanned across the African continent in fields from communications to resource mobilization, a testament to the versatility of pathways in advancing gender equality.
The conference highlighted these diverse partnerships and reaffirmed our commitment to building a more equitable and sustainable world.
For many survivors of gender-based violence in Uganda, walking into a lawyer’s office can be the first step toward reclaiming their rights. But for years, clients at the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers—known locally as FIDA Uganda—often left with signed legal papers but still burdened by trauma and emotional pain.
“Clients would sit through consultations holding back tears,” recalled one FIDA staff member. “We were helping them seek justice, but we couldn’t address the wounds they carried inside.”
That changed in 2024 when Crossroads International helped launch a groundbreaking collaboration between FIDA Uganda and the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic in Canada. Two highly skilled volunteers—experts in trauma-informed counselling and fundraising—traveled to Uganda to work alongside FIDA staff. What began as a knowledge exchange quickly turned into a transformative shift in how legal aid is delivered to survivors.
A New Chapter: Legal Aid Meets Emotional Support
With guidance from the Crossroads volunteers, FIDA Uganda established a Counseling and Psychosocial Support Unit, hiring two full-time therapists and equipping twenty-two district offices with the tools to respond holistically to survivors’ needs. Staff were trained in trauma-informed practices, and the organization’s fundraising strategy was strengthened to support the long-term sustainability of the program.
“Legal support alone is not enough,” said Evelyn Letio, a newly hired FIDA counsellor. “Now, survivors can share their full story—both legal and emotional—and begin to heal while they seek justice. Clients who once walked out in tears now leave with renewed hope.”
Impact by the Numbers
The results speak volumes. In 2024 alone:
These changes didn’t just benefit clients—they also supported FIDA’s overburdened staff, who had long carried the emotional weight of working with survivors. “It’s made our work more sustainable,” one lawyer noted. “Knowing there’s someone trained to help with the emotional aspect means we can focus more effectively on the legal side.”
Building for the Future
Crossroads volunteer Colleen Ryan, a trauma-informed care specialist from the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic, reflected on the collaboration: “We weren’t just offering tools—we were building something lasting. The commitment we saw from FIDA staff was incredible. They welcomed us with open arms and ran with every idea, adapting it to their context.”
A Replicable Model of Justice
The FIDA experience is quickly gaining attention as a replicable model for integrated justice services across Uganda and beyond. By offering legal and emotional support under one roof, the program is restoring dignity, reinforcing resilience, and redefining what it means to support survivors of gender-based violence. “Justice is not just about court rulings—it’s about restoring lives,” said FIDA Uganda’s Executive Director. “With Crossroads’ support, we’re not only helping women seek justice—we’re walking with them on the path to healing.”
Launched in April 2024, the Gender Equality Innovation Fund project “Strengthening Women’s Economic Empowerment through Savings and Credit Groups (GEC)”—implemented by the National Agency for Volunteerism in Togo (ANVT) in partnership with the Togolese Coordination of Farmers’ Organizations (CTOP)—is driving remarkable socioeconomic change for women and girls in the rural Kara region of Togo. For many of these women, barriers such as limited access to training, credit, and economic opportunities had long held them back.
Through this project, they are now gaining vital skills, launching income-generating activities, and strengthening their voices and agency within their communities.
The initiative reached 120 women and their families through high-quality training in agricultural entrepreneurship, financial literacy, reproductive health, gender equality, leadership, and civic engagement. Equipped with new knowledge and practical tools, participants are now managing their finances more effectively, building small businesses, and embracing newfound confidence and self-worth.
At the heart of this transformation are the community-based Savings and Credit Groups (GECs). These groups not only provide access to savings and small loans, but also serve as a platform for ongoing training, solidarity, and collective empowerment.
“Thanks to the financial education training I received, I opened a savings account with a microfinance institution where I now make daily deposits. Before, I was too ashamed to speak in public about my products. But after the life skills and agricultural entrepreneurship training, I gained confidence, self-esteem, and innovative sales techniques that helped me become a seasoned entrepreneur.”
Assouma Raphatou, 23, reflected on her journey:
“Before the project, I didn’t know what savings were. I earned up to 5,000 CFA francs (approx. $12 CAD) a day from small jobs but spent it all immediately. Through the trainings, I started selling porridge from my home, and now added clothing sales, which allows me to save 1,000 CFA francs daily in a neighbourhood group and 500 CFA francs weekly in the GEC fund.”
This project illustrates the power of local, community-driven solutions. With the right resources, training, and support, rural women are not only improving their livelihoods but also reshaping the future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Targeting youth—including women, persons with disabilities, and refugees—the SSC project offers more than just job placements. It delivers hands-on training, mentorship, career coaching, and a path to leadership in sectors focused on social justice, gender equality, and sustainable development.
“Thanks to Crossroads International, I now have the perfect opportunity to achieve my goal of advocating for young people and persons with disabilities,” Denis Tumusiime, a 23-year-old communications scholar placed with the SRHR Alliance Uganda. His efforts earned him an invitation to speak at a high-level diplomatic reception, a powerful symbol of youth-led impact.
In its first year, SSC recruited 50 young leaders—76% women, 16% refugees and internally displaced persons, and 10% persons with disabilities—and partnered with grassroots organizations to boost local capacity in areas like gender justice, health, environmental protection, and inclusive education.
This project exemplifies Crossroads’ commitment to building a world where youth thrive as leaders, communities flourish, and systemic change is driven from within.
“Thanks to the loan, I could finally buy good seeds, fertilizer, and tools,” Nomsa says. “Now my beetroot farm produces enough for local grocery stores—and I’ve even been able to hire other women in my community.”
Nomsa’s journey is one of over 5,300 women across 220 Self-Help Groups in rural Eswatini whose lives are being transformed through access to gender-responsive finance, peer support, and climate-smart agricultural training. The project, funded by a 3 million Rand (approx. $229,000 CAD) grant from the Ministry of Finance, responds directly to the root causes of rural poverty, gender inequality, and climate vulnerability.
Key results:
Led by Crossroads’ volunteer Brenda Okorogba, who helped secure the initial R3 million grant, the project embeds capacity-building and monitoring systems to ensure long-term sustainability. Her work also contributed to a replicable and scalable model for community-driven development, rooted in women’s leadership and financial independence.
Beyond economics, the Self-Help Groups are becoming platforms for social transformation—providing safe spaces to address gender-based violence, promote health education, and build solidarity among women.
When three professionals from Salesforce Inc. stepped into the modest offices of TUSONGE Community Development Organization in Moshi, Tanzania, they didn’t arrive with donations or handouts—they brought something far more lasting: knowledge.
“Our data was scattered. It was difficult to track progress or demonstrate impact,” a TUSONGE team member explained. “We knew we could do more—but we didn’t have the tools.”
That changed when Crossroads International, through its Volunteer Cooperation Program, matched TUSONGE with three short-term corporate volunteers from Salesforce: Tara Scanlan, Nikki Salazar, and Jennifer Brinea. These experts brought a wealth of experience in project management, data analysis, and strategic planning.
A New Way of Working
Over a few intense weeks, the Salesforce volunteers didn’t just install software—they worked side-by-side with TUSONGE staff, offering training, mentorship, and strategic insight. Together, they streamlined data collection using Salesforce tools, introduced better workflows, and helped build a roadmap for long-term sustainability.
“The knowledge we received is invaluable,” one TUSONGE staff member shared. “We now feel confident managing our projects in a structured, efficient way.”
Impact at a Glance:
A Win-Win Exchange
For the Salesforce volunteers, the experience was equally transformative.
“Working with TUSONGE reminded me why I got into this field in the first place—to use my skills to make a difference,” said one volunteer.
Another reflected, “This kind of global collaboration is powerful. We learned just as much as we shared.”
The Salesforce and TUSONGE collaboration through Crossroads proves that even short-term volunteer engagements can create long-term change—especially when grounded in shared purpose, mutual respect, and a commitment to learning together.
International Women’s Day in Uganda
During International Women’s Day, ACTS For Water Uganda launched a powerful media campaign to highlight how lack of clean water increases the risk of gender-based violence for women and girls. The campaign reached over 80,000 people through national TV, radio, and community discussions. It focused on the dangers women face when walking long distances to collect water and called for safer, more accessible water sources. By linking water access to women’s safety, the campaign urged communities and decision-makers to take action and invest in solutions that protect both health and human rights.
Join us in recognizing the power of every woman’s story and supporting initiatives that empower women globally:
With partner WiLDAF (Women in Law and Development in Africa), Fredricka reached more than 500 students through the Power to Choose program, creating safe spaces for open conversations about teenage pregnancy, sexual violence, and other challenges girls face. These interactive sessions gave students a chance to speak freely, ask questions, and learn practical tools for navigating difficult situations.
At Ashaiman No. 5 Basic/Junior High School, Fredricka also led hands-on training in liquid soap-making for 200 girls, providing them with a simple but powerful way to earn income and build independence.
Her volunteer work is sparking real change—empowering youth to make informed choices, take pride in their skills, and become leaders of positive transformation in their communities.
In Ghana, volunteer Fredricka Agyapong is helping young people—especially girls—gain the confidence and skills they need to shape their futures.
Charles, one of our first volunteers, passed away at the age of 100. A trailblazer, he served in Uganda in 1963—just as Crossroads was taking root—and remained committed to our mission for more than four decades. A close friend of our founders, he went on to serve as Chair of the Board, support African students in Canada, and contribute as a donor, legal advisor, and advocate. His passion for justice and global solidarity helped shape the organization we are today.
We are profoundly grateful for Charles and Don’s belief in our vision of ONE WORLD. Their legacy lives on in every step we take toward equality and the eradication of poverty.
The ONE WORLD Legacy Circle is composed of a special group of supporters who opted to make their core values known to future generations through a legacy gift. With gratitude, we are pleased to recognize some Crossroaders who have taken the generous and compassionate act of including Crossroads International in their Will. These supporters are helping to reduce poverty and empower women and girls for generations to come.
Together, Darlene, Patsy, and Rick show what leaving a gift in your Will can do: it turns one life’s convictions into lasting change for women and girls, long into the future.
Including a gift in your Will is a simple, revocable way to provide future funding for Crossroads while reducing final estate taxes.
Legacy gift options include a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate (residue) or specific assets like securities or property. It is crucial to use a lawyer to draft a legally valid Will.
