In addition to disaster response and immigrant and refugee support, Week of Compassion is active in many growth and development projects all over the world. These projects address the root causes of poverty that often make progress difficult in impoverished areas. They also allow us to address the new challenges presented by climate change in parts of the world that already struggle with meeting basic needs.
As we do in our domestic and international disaster responses, as well as immigrant and refugee response, Week of Compassion's approach is to work closely with local leaders in each community where we have a presence, so that change is rooted in our core values of community, accompaniment, and integrity. Relationship and empowerment matters to us.
We adhere to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Through our partner organizations, we help people to provide for themselves, their families and their neighbors, often using the resources already available to them. Our sustainable development focuses primarily on education, agriculture, and community building through a range of vocational opportunities.

Women's Empowerment Fund
One of our ongoing sustainable development goals is to empower women and support women-led entrepreneurship. The Week of Compassion Women's Empowerment Fund supports partners working to develop and strengthen education opportunities for girls and women, and to empower women-led businesses in distressed regions with business and technical training, opening doors for women to achieve economic and social empowerment.
The Women's Empowerment Fund is an extension of Week of Compassion’s commitment to long-term relationships and ongoing support, visible through the work of our partners. By staying connected with the communities we serve, our partners continue to connect people with opportunities that empower and fuel the local economy.
When women and girls are empowered to learn, to create, to lead, and to grow their skills, the impact reaches far beyond a single project. By supporting the Women’s Empowerment Fund, you partner with Week of Compassion to grow strong families and communities, transform lives, and create a whole world of opportunity.
