A brighter future

Your support this International Women's Day gives 14 girls in Indonesia access to education—and a future beyond poverty.

Education gives women choice

Your generosity will equip 14 young women to pursue university studies in nursing, physiotherapy, tax accounting and management. Stepping into these life‑changing careers means they can discover their God‑given purpose and transform their communities for generations to come.

Education ends poverty for her,

and those who follow after

Right now, 122 million girls are out of school—not because they lack potential, but because poverty, conflict and gender barriers have closed the door. Their futures are being decided for them.


When a girl is denied education, her world narrows. Her opportunities shrink. She becomes far more vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, early marriage and generational cycles she never chose.


This International Women’s Day, you can support 14 young women in Indonesia so they won’t be pushed into the same low-paying jobs their mothers and grandmothers worked in but can step into the future that God created for them.

1 in 4

Indonesian women are married before the legal age

1.9 M

students in Indonesia will graduate high school unable to continue their studies.

What could be...

Educating girls enhances women’s agency and decision-making and increases their standard of living.

Girls’ education strengthens economies, reduces inequality and builds more stable, resilient societies.

Investing in girls’ education improves the health and nutrition of their children and can help end early marriage and pregnancy.
