About Project Authenticity

Our mission is really simple, we are working to end violence against women and poverty in developing countries. We know that one billion women will be a victim  of violence in her lifetime. As many as one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some other way – most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member.

We want to promote peace and prosperity, believe wholeheartedly that it begins with women. We have seen that in societies where women’s rights are respected, economies are stronger, civil societies thrive and political institutions are more open and free.

Our approach is to work alongside vetted country and community leaders to make sure that the girls and women are getting the education and training necessary to participate in programs for micro-finance and build an income. When a woman is educated and bringing income her role in the community changes. It just takes one woman to start to change an entire community.

Our goal isn’t to herd women and girls through a program only to leave them asking what’s next. We are committed to building a movement of empowered women who can be a catalyst in their community for economic viability, human rights, and goodness.
