Topic: Give to Gain: Why Supporting Women & Girls Matters More Than Ever
Join Together Women Rise for our special virtual event celebrating International Women’s Day 2026 and the global theme, “Give to Gain.” As funding for gender equality work continues to shrink worldwide, grassroots organizations are facing unprecedented challenges—yet their impact has never been more critical.
This timely discussion will highlight how generosity, collaboration, and community investment drive lasting progress for women and girls, share the real-world impact of funding cuts on Rise’s grantees, and inspire you to take action. When women thrive, we all rise—and impact grows when community grows.
Moderator: Zsuzsanna Lippai, CEO at Fuller Project
Panelists:
- Muka Mweemba, Program Manager, Zambia at CAMFED
- Esther Mwaura-Muiru, Global Advocacy Director, Stand for Her Land at Landesa
- Troy Anderson, Founder and International Director at Speak Up for the Poor
