Supported by you

We regularly publish success stories of our work that have been made possible by your donations. Here are two examples.

Mwanaima from Tanzania

24-year-old Mwanaima from Tanzania is representative of many young women in East Africa who are unable to exercise their rights. She comes from a village near the city of Arusha, where sexual violence, teenage pregnancy and female genital mutilation are commonplace. Through DSW, she has learnt to stand up for her rights, to take care of herself and to make her own decisions about her body, including whether she wants to have children one day. DSW and its local partners have been able to reach out to many young women like Mwanaima and carry out important awareness-raising work in their communities.

Catherine from Kenya

Yes, we welcome regular donations! Regular support gives us more planning security as it allows us to plan for the long term and support projects on an ongoing basis.

Donations are the foundation of our work and we are grateful for any amount. A particular advantage of regular donations is that they give us more planning certainty with less administration, which of course benefits the projects.

You can make an unrestricted donation or choose which of our four areas you would like to support (political dialogue, youth empowerment, education and contraception, gender equality). If you have a particular project that you are passionate about, you can also choose to donate to that project.

In addition to financial support, you can also make a valuable contribution by actively participating in events or spreading our messages on social media.
