Giving Tuesday 2024

"We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage."

-Malala Yousafzai

According to the UNHCR, there are currently 117.3 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, 50% of whom are women & girls. Women are often the first responders in a crisis, and whether en route or in camps, in their home countries or destination countries, they play a crucial role in caring for, sustaining, and rebuilding their communities. Yet, refugee and migrant women’s needs, priorities, and voices are often missing from policies designed to protect and assist them.

This Giving Tuesday, we give back to those that give everyday. Join us in celebrating the resilience of refugees and creating a more welcoming Tampa Bay.
