Why give?

Because showing up takes more than good intentions.

Every kilometer we drive, every class we teach, and every moment we hold space for someone, all of it is only possible due to your support.

Your donation fuels the van, equips the team, and brings self-defense and empowerment directly to girls and women on the move.

Give, so we can keep going. Give, so others can stand stronger.

Spread the Word

A black van parked in front of a red metal fence, with the side door open revealing insulation inside. Nearby are some construction materials and a broom leaning against the van.
Camping gear including a blue cooler, black backpack, blue bag, foam mats, and a plastic container with summer gear, placed against a concrete wall outdoors.
Group of children and adult working on drawings or diagrams on large sheets of paper on the floor, with colored mats.

It all begins with showing up. Again and again.

Maybe you care about safety. Maybe you believe in solidarity. Or maybe you’ve seen how powerful it is when women stand together.

Whatever brings you here, sharing the story matters.

When you talk about EmpowerVan, you help amplify the voices of displaced women. You make the invisible work visible. You grow a community that believes safety and dignity belong to everyone.

Share. Post. Talk. To help us move this mission forward, one story at a time.
