International Women’s Day 2025
The world today can feel overwhelming, with challenges that look different from place to place. While circumstances may vary, uncertainty and obstacles affect us all. In many parts of the world, women are still fighting for opportunities that others may take for granted—whether it’s access to education, a voice in their community, or a safe place to give birth. At times, progress may seem fragile, but we cannot afford to lose hope—because now, more than ever, the world needs us to keep moving forward.
At Drop in the Bucket, we see that empowering women transforms entire communities. That’s why we are committed to expanding educational opportunities for girls in South Sudan—one of the most challenging places in the world for female education. This year alone, over 250 girls are enrolled in our scholarship program, giving them the chance to stay in school and build brighter futures.
We’ve also launched Safe Spaces, an after-school program where primary-level girls can learn, grow, and dream without fear. Our clean water projects reduce the burden on women and girls who would otherwise spend hours each day walking for water—giving them the freedom to focus on education and village-level businesses. And through Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), we help women take control of their economic futures.
A more equal world is possible—one where women and girls have the resources, education, and opportunities they deserve. But we can’t do this without you. Please consider making a donation – your contributions make our work possible.
This past Saturday was International Women’s Day, but through our work, every day is an opportunity to uplift women, expand opportunities, and create a future where every girl can reach her full potential.
