Life in the Guatemala City garbage dump is harrowing, especially for women who are vulnerable to immense rates of gender-based abuse and violence both at home and away. The community is entangled in a web of complex issues ranging from extreme poverty to the lingering after-effects of a 36-year internal armed conflict. With such wider problems around the community, women's issues are too often overlooked and we want to support changing that.
Your gift gives vital therapy sessions to women who need it most. These sessions provide emotional healing and helps support a better life. Women learn to identify the signs of violence, to create safety plans, and to tap into life-saving resources. The ripple effect of these learnings extends beyond individual women to their families and communities, potentially breaking cycles of abuse and suffering for generations to come.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
