All of us on the Rise Up Global Team wish you and your loved ones the happiest holiday season. We hope you find space for rest and renewal as we close out 2024 and prepare for 2025. We celebrated our 15th anniversary this year, which gave us time to reflect on the incredible achievement of positively impacting 172 million people worldwide over the past decade and a half and envision our next 15 years. What we know for sure is that our work, in partnership with visionary local leaders, will continue with skill, determination, and compassion. In times of uncertainty, we rely on our global network for strength and direction. You are an integral part of our global network and this movement. 

As a trusted supporter and in the spirit of giving, we hope that you will consider making a year-end gift to Rise Up. Each dollar you give will go toward advancing gender equity and justice including protecting reproductive health and rights, ending child marriage, preventing gender-based violence, ensuring girls’ stay in school, creating new economic opportunities for women and girls, and more.
