There is an awareness gap in regard to programs that provide solutions to promote improved life sustainability for women in African villages. Professional women and men who have a heart for capacity building and serving are missing out on the opportunity to invest their time and talent to empower women daily. We believe volunteers are the unsung heroes of the charity sector, and we applaud anyone who is willing to give up their time to make a “world of difference and make change happen.” They want to help women to transform their lives, save money, and support their families and the communities around them.

Ripples Volunteers are giving a hand up to women and youth to create ripples of lasting change and break the cycle of poverty. You are the backbone of the success of nonprofits, most of us need you to succeed. We need funds to run our projects, you can make the difference between the success and failure of our projects. We need your help to fundraise and change the lives of thousands waiting for you to help.

We need you to join us and change the lives and futures of mothers and their children.

Ripples invests in the economic and social prosperity of the African village woman, with the goal of improving their quality of life and investing in their future. We give a hand out, not a 'handout.' Our ultimate goal is to create prosperity for working African village women by giving them micro-finance and/or inputs and helping them set up their own sustainable businesses, and save and invest in their own futures.

Do you want to work directly with Ripples staff in Africa, who are making change happen on the ground? Do you want the opportunity (if you’re interested) to join project teams to visit, and see the impact of your contributions in Africa? Please join us and change lives, one village woman at a time. We're asking for your support because you're interested in volunteering to empower African women and youth to break the circle of poverty in African villages. We know that you want to volunteer in an organization like Ripples and you're looking to help African women and youth build and rebuild their lives. This program is perfect for volunteers who want to serve the community while they have fun understanding the real women and youth we work with and you who want to make a difference and help women escape the cycle of poverty for themselves and generals to come by giving your time to empower women." Join us to make change happen.

We currently have a waiting list of over 5,000 women in each of our 3 countries, the demands are huge, but we have succeeded in growing exponentially because we take this on, one woman at a time. We hope that you'll help us to make change happen
