Problem

Villagers living in rural African communities face daily challenges to their health and well-being, including limited basic resources, few economic opportunities, marked inequalities, and drastic health challenges. Yet Tostan has shown that these often dynamic individuals also have a wealth of culture and positive traditions that can allow them to transform their situation when given the knowledge, skills, and experience to do so.

The Gift

By funding the participation of one West African woman in the full 30 months (over three years) of the Tostan Community Empowerment Program, you will change the life of one woman, her family, and her community through our respectful, positive methods of sustainable social transformation.
