Women are hardest hit by disasters, but are often the first to step up, taking swift and decisive action to protect their families and communities when disaster strikes.
We know that when women are given the resources and opportunities to lead:
Every time you donate to the Arise Fund, you empower women to save lives, protect rights, and rebuild stronger, more resilient communities.
Together the Australian Aid Program and the Arise Fund are supporting multi-year programs in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya, the Philippines, Vanuatu and the Pacific to advance women’s leadership in responding to climate change and disasters and to protect their rights in emergencies. Every dollar contributed by donors through the Arise Fund is matched by the Australian Government with four dollars through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program.
Our bold goal to is raise $20million over the next five years to reach one million women globally.
To give communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis a fighting chance, we must invest in preparedness. To drive progress on gender equality, we must invest in women’s leadership.
