Dear Friends,

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank you for your steadfast championship of Women’s Earth Alliance. Your partnership has helped strengthen a vital ecosystem of women-led climate and health solutions.

That’s why we’re asking for your support before the year ends. Thanks to a generous $150,000 matching grant, every dollar you give today will be doubled.

In the U.S., WEA rose to meet this moment. We supported a powerful alliance of frontline leaders building community food systems, health programs, and emergency infrastructure in regions long overlooked. These women are not only responding to wildfires, drought, and water contamination—they are building lasting resilience for their communities.

Internationally, our alliances continue to model scalable systems change. In Sumatra, Indonesia, recent floods displaced entire villages. Because of years of investment in local leadership, WEA Leaders mobilized within hours to deliver clean water, food, shelter, and emergency supplies. In Kenya, we launched our first Resilience Center in the region, designed to support women’s livelihoods, public health, and climate resilience.

In 2025, WEA and our partners:

  • Trained 5,500 women and girls—70% from Indigenous or marginalized communities
  • Protected 6,500+ hectares of ecosystems
  • Grew 90,000 trees
  • Reached 100,000+ people with food, water, health services, and economic opportunity

These outcomes are tangible and they are only possible when grassroots leaders are trusted, resourced, and connected.

Your gift will help:

  • Build climate resilience hubs: Safe community spaces offering training, resources, and steady support.
  • Launch green microenterprises: Women-led eco-businesses that generate income and stability.
  • Equip women farmers + ensure food security: Seeds, tools, and training to grow food and nourish communities.
  • Deliver rapid disaster relief: Clean water, shelter supplies, and emergency cash when crisis hits.
  • Train young women leaders: Skills, mentorship, and opportunities for girls leading climate and health solutions.

We hope you’ll stand with us again. The need is urgent and the opportunity to create lasting change has never been greater.
