In many parts of the world, it is dangerous to be a woman - especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Women's Hope Internationala non-profit organization based in Bern, has set itself the task of counteracting these risks.

In countries such as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Chad, it works with heart and dedication to ensure that women have access to basic health services. For example, Women's Hope trains midwives, invests in local infrastructure and supports women in strengthening their social position and standing up for their rights.

A unique selling point of Women's Hope International is its strong local roots:

"We deliberately keep the structures in Switzerland lean and work with local partner organizations on a long-term basis. The local people and institutions know the challenges and know best how to solve them." - Selina Leu, Head of Communications and Public Fundraising at Women's Hope

Noian's path to independence

One example of the sustainable work of Women's Hope International is the story of Noian from Bangladesh. Five years ago, she took part in a project against child marriage and received a goat to promote her financial independence.

Today, Noian has her own herd of 20 goats and can use the proceeds to finance not only her own education, but also that of her siblings. Her dream is to become a doctor. "This example shows how even small amounts of support can make a big difference," says Selina Leu.

Challenges and opportunities in fundraising

The organization reaches its supporters primarily through traditional channels such as donation letters and its in-house magazine "Weitwinkel", in which it places its projects in a broader context. However, digital channels are also playing an increasingly important role, reports Selina Leu: "We are working on a new website and are seeing a growing proportion of digital donations."

At the same time, the digital transformation brings with it new challenges. As a smaller organization with limited resources, it is difficult to keep up with the big players. But instead of relying on expensive solutions, the organization relies on creative approaches: "We can't afford expensive agency solutions - but we can look at how the big players do it and try to get the best out of it in a targeted manner and with a lot of passion."

A simple and uncomplicated donation process is essential for an NGO like Women's Hope. This is where the Payrexx donation tool comes into play. "Donors can transfer money quickly and easily via Payrexx. A smooth process is key to ensuring that people complete their donation."

Women's Hope International describes the cooperation with Payrexx as a partnership and reliable: "Even though we are a smaller organization, we have the feeling that our concerns are taken seriously."
