Major gifts
Major donors of Crossroads International have touched so many areas of our work – from our girls’ empowerment program, to women’s leadership and economic empowerment programs, to work to reduce gender-based violence. Major gifts help us work in collaboration with partner organizations in sub-Saharan Africa to make lasting changes for marginalized women and girls living mostly in rural and marginalized communities.

MAKE A COMMITMENT TO FIGHT GENDER INEQUALITY AND END HUNGER WITH A DONATION OVER $5,000
Our goal is to empower and strengthen the capacity of marginalized women and girls to develop skills and earn sustainable incomes in sub-Saharan Africa. We work with local partners who are best positioned to understand the needs of the communities we serve. We depend on the passionate support of donors like you who are willing to join our fight in a significant way.
Generous donations – of $5,000 or more – have a powerful impact on finding solutions to respond to daunting challenges like human trafficking, early and forced marriages, and hunger. You can help women and girls access leadership and economic empowerment.
