Our donors at WHW are an irreplaceable part of our community of support. Empowering survivors and preventing gender-based violence wouldn't happen without your financial support! Every survivor-centric intervention initiative we undertake, and every innovative new prevention program we offer, it all begins with the WHW Annual Fund. We are on pace to serve a record-breaking number of 9,000 survivors and provide 40,000+ crisis response services by year end. Every bit of support helps us continue to grow and help more survivors each year. Please consider supporting survivors through this initiative by giving financially to WHW. https://lnkd.in/e3kERD45
