and we’re using it to rebuild lives.

03.
Community
We create spaces for connection and healing through shared meals, creative workshops, and storytelling circles.
At the heart of our work is
Social impact
While our work is centered around building communities in the U.S, our impact reaches far to create opportunities for rural women in Turkmenistan.
We work to address domestic based violence at its roots, helping women and girls build safer and stronger futures. We achieve this through our three robust programs:
Educational Attainment
Girls who complete their education are three times less likely to marry before 18 and earn up to 60% more over their lifetime (UNESCO). Each year, we enroll rural high-school girls in a rigorous mentorship program, ensuring they receive the guidance and resources needed to pursue higher education.
Economic Empowerment
Research shows that women’s earnings can reduce domestic violence risk by up to 35%. We partner with vocational schools to provide skills training and certifications to young mothers and married women, creating access to stable income and financial independence.
Community
Social isolation fuels stigma and silence. We build community through monthly shared meals, creative workshops, and storytelling circles, engaging local women in peer-led support gatherings. Rooted in cultural traditions of food and craft, we offer stigma-free entry points for connection and healing. Women who participate in such groups are 40% more likely to report or resist violence (UN Women).
