My donation: $5

MADRE supports existing women's organizations, ensuring that skills and resources remain in the communities that their programs serve for the long term.

Currently, MADRE is working with various organizations to provide programs for women's health, combatting violence against women, peace building, economic and environmental justice.

MADRE's programs are operated in Afghanistan, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Iraq, Kenya, Nicaragua, Palestine, Panama, Peru and Sudan. Quite an impressive global reach.
