WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

The money raised will be used to help us respond to the urgent needs of vulnerable women and girls, disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and severe climate change conditions. Donations will fund important work to reduce gender-based violence ranging from early marriages, sex trafficking, and female genital mutilation, and will also promote long-term resilience and sustainable livelihoods for rural and marginalized communities, through social and economic empowerment programs.

By participating in this event and bidding on items, you will be helping to provide support to the women and girls who need it most. Thank you!

Going once, going twice… see if you will win your item!
