We want to introduce you to Safia*, a courageous young girl from rural Sierra Leone. Safia had one dream: to finish school. Four days a week she stood in front of a classroom in her village, helping younger children learn to read. Safia was no longer a girl with a bright future, but a woman vulnerable to abuse and promised by her mother to marry a much older man.

Where she dreamed of a diploma, they saw a dowry.

With your help, we’ll work with families and leaders to change harmful social norms, protect and empower girls like Safia, and ensure their dreams don’t end in fear.

Your triple-matched gift will help:

- Train local leaders to stand up for girls.
- Equip Mothers' Clubs to protect their daughters.
- Build safe spaces for girls to learn and grow.

Join us and triple your impact before September 30th!

In the rural community of Dundukoh, Sierra Leone, a group of courageous mothers is leading the charge to bring education back into the lives of girls who had dropped out due to difficult life circumstances.

With a small grant from CAUSE Canada, these women launched small businesses — and thanks to their efforts, five girls are now back in school with the supplies they need to succeed. 📚🎒

Mothers’ Clubs are proof that when women are empowered, entire communities rise. 🙌

Send a CAUSE Care Package this Mother's Day with 100% of proceeds for every care package supports Mothers’ Clubs in rural Sierra Leone to access opportunities to overcome extreme poverty.

🌍 Reflecting on the past five years...

If you can believe it, this month marks five years since the Covid-19 pandemic altered the course of our lives. It shut down schools, offices, and brought a lot of uncertainty and fear. Yet, amidst the challenges, it also showed us the power of compassion and community.

We were incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive network of friends and donors, like you. Even during a time of personal struggle, many of you reached out with kindness, and your generosity helped us continue our work.

Thanks to you, we were able to continue to provide vital health and safety projects in every country we serve, building on our previous experiences during the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone. While many faced hardships, you never forgot those in need of healthcare, food, education, and safety.

From all of us at CAUSE Canada, we are deeply grateful for your continued support.

Here’s to taking care of each other no matter what may come. ❤️

This past week, we shared several women’s stories from around the world in hopes of inspiring you to see how you can create change and share the strength in your own story. Today, we encourage you to reflect on the women who have supported you in your life and support ongoing efforts for a more inclusive and equitable society in Canada and beyond. ✨

Some ideas for getting involved this International Women’s Day:

1. Share personal stories of women who’ve inspired you or shaped your journey.
2. Support women-led initiatives and businesses in your community.
3. Participate in local or virtual events celebrating women’s stories and strength.
4. Volunteer or donate to organizations that amplify women’s voices and support gender equality.

Together, let’s honour the power of women’s stories and the impact they make. 💜

Working towards gender equality requires the active participation of men. We asked Brandon Waardenburg—owner of Good Trade Co. and a member of CAUSE Canada’s board of directors—how men can contribute to the success of International Women's Day and the broader movement for gender equality. Here’s what he had to say! 💬✨

"I believe men can contribute by actively listening to women's experiences, advocating for equity in the workplace and the community, and by calling out bias when they see it. It's important to support and amplify women’s voices and experiences. Leading by example helps make real change, and taking time for self-reflection ensures that the support is more than just symbolic—it needs to have a real impact."

With the approach of , we spoke with a member of CAUSE Canada’s wonderful board of directors, Bobbi Salkeld and asked her a few questions about her thoughts on this important day. We’d love to know – how might you answer these questions?

If you could have lunch with any woman from history, who would it be, and why?

When I travel, I love to visit art galleries. And when visiting art galleries, I'm always on the hunt for women artists. I like to think about the strength it took for these women to carve out space for themselves in art worlds made by men and for men. When I was in Halifax last spring, I saw an exhibit of the works of Denyse Thomasos at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. I was mesmerized by how she worked the themes of race, grief, and oppression into her lively murals. I'd love to have lunch with Ms. Thomasos.

Why do you think it's important to recognize and reflect on the achievements of women on International Women's Day, and how can this be done meaningfully?

The world doesn't work without women, and there are still many challenges to women's flourishing. Focusing on the achievements of women corrects the wrongs of women's stories being overlooked and underrepresented. It's especially important for young women and girls to learn about other women's successes, as it's easier to imagine your role in a future that you can see yourself in. A simple way to meaningfully recognize International Women's Day might be to watch a film directed by a woman or to read a book written by women about women's experiences.

Why do you believe it's important for both men and women to recognize and participate in International Women's Day?

Both women and men need to recognize International Women's Day because gender equality benefits everyone. I would argue that we are missing pathways to love if we put limits on the full humanity of either women or men – that means women and men are free to feel the full range of human emotions, women and men are free to experience the full range of leadership, women and men are free to offer their efforts in service to others. The world is better when we are shaping it together for the benefit of all.
