Why are women more impacted by the climate crisis?
70% of people living in poverty are women.
Up to 80% of the world’s food is produced by women, but they own less than 10% of the land.
393 million tonnes worth of Carbon Dioxide emissions a year are produced by the actions of just 125 billionaires – equivalent to a country the size of France.

Magda’s fighting to protect her village from climate change. Will you act with her?
Magda Riang Hepat is a project manager for the Foundation for Social Studies and Development (YPPS) in Indonesia. YPPS are local champions for sustainable farming. It’s never been more needed.
Magda says, “In recent years, we have all seen the alarming effects of climate change taking shape sooner than anyone predicted. Your country had its first drought in decades. But in my village, drought threatens lives and livelihoods every summer. Summers which are growing hotter and more devastating”
Now Magda’s taking action...
“We teach local women to manage agriculture with environmentally friendly concepts.”

As a result, Magda’s neighbour Mama Paulina now farms climate-resistant sorghum, a resilient grain crop that can grow in hot areas with little rainfall. Growing sorghum means she’s no longer at risk of running out of food.
“From these taught methods, which are developed in gardens and yards, women can produce good quality organic crops that are varied and provide a balanced diet. The program also provided a change in mindset for the community, shifting cultivation from slash-and-burn to utilising garden organic waste for mulch so that it can restore topsoil after it is destroyed.”
How communities are fighting back
Building Resilience
Step one ensures people have what they need after climate disasters flood their homes or dry out their farmland with drought. With cash transfers, people can build back resilience after disasters, buying food, warm clothes for their children or whatever else they need.
Driving Innovation
Next comes innovation. Your monthly gifts could help fund projects and training in how to adapt farming for floods and drought. These-female-led initiatives help people to protect their incomes by growing crops all year round.
Fighting climate effects
By uniting together, communities are training in sustainable farming. Like finding new ways to stop the destructive effects of typhoons by planting mangrove crops, or stopping flooding with fields of sugarcane. People won’t just change their lives. They’ll change the future. Be part of the change.
