Support Lasting Transformation with Carry 117

At Carry 117, we believe every woman deserves opportunity, dignity, and a future of hope. Your donation helps us walk alongside at-risk women in Korah, Ethiopia — empowering them with meaningful work, skills training, and sustainable income so they can support themselves, their children, and their communities.

100% of every dollar you give goes directly to supporting our mission. Gifts of all sizes make a difference, and all donations are tax-deductible.
