Circle of Women believes one educated girl affects one community, and one community effects a world of change. Anyone can be this agent of change. Will you join our circle?

In 2006, three women at Harvard founded Circle of Women. They believed, as we still do, that too little is invested globally in women and women's education in particular. They likewise believed that they did not need wait until they held a college degree or an established career to work for change. Since then, Circle of Women has remained true to our roots: we are an undergraduate-run not-for-profit operating internationally. In 12 years, we have completed 10 projects in 6 countries. In the past year, we have completed projects in Sacred Valley, Peru and Jabergali, Pakistan. We work with local partners to understand the true need of diverse communities and to address those problems in sustainable and lasting ways.

We recognize that inequalities in access to education are a severe problem all around the world, including here in the United States. Circle of Women, as a relatively small organization, chooses active in areas where each donation can have a maximum impact. 93 cents of every dollar that you donate to Circle will go directly to one of our projects.

One $15 donation will purchase all lamps for a computer lab in Sacred Valley, Peru, five chalkboards in Jabergali, Pakistan, or windows for a dormitory in Wema, Kenya. $20 provides school supplies including books, paper, chalk, and chalkboards for one woman in Indore, India for a year. $80 pays for a tutor for girls for a month inn Sacred Valley or a door for the dorm in Wema, Keyna. $170 puts desks in a computer lab in Sacred Valley and $500 gives an entire school in Indore, India access to Microsoft Office.

Circle of Women is an organization devoted to empowering women through education to change their lives, the circumstances of their families, and the future of their communities. We empower undergraduate and high school students across the United States and abroad to conduct research and propose projects that lead to the empowerment of girls all over the world. We imagine a world, ten years from today, where women have greater access and greater opportunity. We hope that, on this International Women's Day, you will help us turn this picture into a reality.
