One Big Day of Generous Giving to Help Girls and Women
This year, Baptist World Aid is celebrating the wonderful women working hard to lead their communities out of poverty. Will you show your support for girls and women around the world on Thursday, March 19?
For 12 hours only—8am till 8pm—we’re aiming to raise $380,000 to help equip girls and women with the skills they need to change their world.
Will you help support women who give so much to their communities with a tax-deductible donation?
Your Gift Will Be Doubled!
When you give on Thursday, 19 March from 8am – 8pm AEDT, your gift will be DOUBLED by a group of generous supporters. They’ve come together to create a special fund of $180,000 to match your Giving Day donation, dollar for dollar. But your gift can only be matched on 19 March, and until the fund runs out.
Giving Day is more than a moment of generosity—it’s a celebration of the women who work so hard to transform their communities alongside our local Christian Partners.
Women like Crystal, pictured here with two of her students.
Crystal lives in the Solomon Islands where too many girls and women have been denied education due to poverty and cultural norms—just seven per cent of girls complete Year 12.
As a result, many women are held back by illiteracy, miss out on work, and don’t have a voice in their community.
That was once Crystal’s story too.
But motivated by a desire to read Scripture, Crystal developed her literacy skills and grew in confidence to speak up for herself and others. Now she’s a capable literacy teacher, volunteering with our local Christian Partner.
‘I become a leader for my community to be a voice for woman who can’t speak for themselves.’
—Crystal, Volunteer literacy teacher and women’s advocate.
This is happening all over the world in our Partner’s programs supported by people like you—Australian Christians who care deeply, and want to see girls and women thrive and lead their communities.
God calls us to respond to his generosity to us by showing generosity to others.
Will you take this Giving Day opportunity to invest in programs that mean girls and women can grow, thrive and change their world?
Your gift will help:
- Women in Lebanon learn tailoring skills, so they can earn an income for their families
- Girls in Nepal avoid early marriage, so their education and childhood is not cut short
- Mothers around the world join Self Help Groups where they can enjoy the learning and encouragement they missed out on as girls.
‘He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.’ (2 Corinthians 9:10-11)
Crystal’s passion for supporting girls and women means they can change their own lives, and play a meaningful part in transforming their community. Whole communities benefit when girls and women are properly supported.
By giving a tax-deductible donation this Giving Day, you’ll be helping women and girls build a better future for themselves and their daughters.
