Every Gift to Here’s Life Makes a Difference
Here’s Life has significant comparative advantage. Here’s Life shapes international policies and budgets, and builds local capacity for women’s health and human rights. We leverage our work in these two
critically linked worlds to take action and to start thinking, redirect funding, and motivate action by people and institutions that can secure rights and health for women and girls both locally and internationally.
“Many people around the world who could have contributed towards positive change initiated by social response believe that making a donation to charitable work undertaken by a Community Based
Organization like Here’s Life , which will bring about social change in Urban and rural areas, is reserved for big companies and very rich person found around the world. Our high proportion of general support
funds allow us to respond quickly when opportunities or threats arise-a quality that has made us highly effective in bridging the two worlds of women’s health and rights organizations, and large policy and
funding institutions.
