More September Empowerment Stories:

For years, Ajok Grace faced the grueling realities of subsistence farming in Agonge, Amuru District. Relying solely on hand hoes and family labor, clearing land was backbreaking work that strictly capped her acreage, kept crop yields low, and left no surplus for market sale.

Everything shifted when Grace accessed an agricultural micro-loan through the Women’s Global Empowerment Fund (WGEF).

Find out how Grace used her loan to transition from survival to enterprise: https://wgefund.org/how-micro-agricultural-credit-transformed-ajok-graces-farm/

Real people, real stories, real change.

$25 goes a surprisingly long way to serve Women's Global Empowerment Fund in our mission to lift women and families from poverty. For the cost of a daily Starbucks run, you can help ensure that a young girl stays in school, avoids forced early marriage, finishes her education, and pursues her dreams. It's that simple.

It's Earth Day 2026, and we at WGEF are here for it! Climate chaos, is, of course, top of mind. Sooo...What does climate justice have to do with gender?

Because women are the food producers, carers of the family, and responsible for collecting water and cooking fuel, climate events impact women and families most. They also face harsh economic impacts from environmental degradation, with women spending more household income on mitigating climate events and disasters.

Click below to find out a few ways that women are disproportionately Impacted by climate chaos.

Extreme weather and climate events are increasing across the world, but they don’t affect everyone equally, women are disproportionately impacted by climate chaos.

Happy Earth Day, friends and supporters!

As populations across the world are constantly on the precipice of war, hunger, displacement, and resource exploitation—and continuously undermining human rights, justice, and international law—it is important to note that 5.4 billion people are ruled by men over the age of 70, suggesting that a generational and gender shift is in order to find new ways forward.

For poor countries, environmental degradation is built on a hierarchy of injustice, greed, and violence. This requires countries to fight imperialism on the aforementioned fronts, and the struggle to pay imposed debt prevents states from providing basic human services to their citizenry and protecting the environment.

This Earth Day, the planet and its people face an existential crisis requiring sustained action, and a monumental effort to push back a capitalist patriarchy seemingly willing to speed up the destruction of the planet and its inhabitants to further a violent and power-driven agenda.

Our call to action is twofold: End oil wars and resource exploitation; and move toward a fair and just green economy based on equality and protection of the natural world. WGEF works to promote the values of gender and environmental justice through sustainable agriculture, leadership development, community dialogues, and a solutions-based agenda.
