Thank you all for standing with us.

This past year has been difficult for many, and we recognize how the needs of our communities have swelled as the larger powers fail us. Even while the onslaught of attacks can feel overwhelming, at Minga we are continuing to do the work. Our long-term partners are inspirational, and a reminder of how justice and equity build slowly, with continued persistence and imagination.

For this Giving Tuesday, we want to share some updates from the past year from our long-term partners SEIINAC in Mexico and ARQDVC in Brazil, along with highlights from our recent annual board retreat, where we renewed our vision for community-led change in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

We hope you’ll continue to join us in this work, maintaining hope and building stronger communities, together.

Sincerely,
All of us at Minga

We stand with our project partners in México: we demand an end to feminicide!

At Minga Foundation, we’re hearing from partners around the world about the deep cuts to USAID programs. In our recent meetings, we’ve been focused on what this shift means for our work and the communities we support. Despite these challenges, we’re pressing forward. Our goal is to continue showing that while the U.S. government may be stepping back from humanitarian aid, the American people have not stopped caring — and neither have we.

Here's a great article that delves into one example of how USAID cuts have affected communities in Nigeria -- Life After PEPFAR: Without access to PrEP and other services, women-led NGOs are scrambling to rebuild—not just health, but economic and social support too. Local groups are now funding holistic community programs: farming, girls’ education, counseling, all to fill the gap left by PEPFAR’s retreat.
