Today, we honor International Women’s Day by celebrating the extraordinary women transforming lives worldwide!

As we embrace this year’s theme of Accelerate Action for gender equality, we’re inspired by the remarkable women leaders within our Blossom Hill community who embody this call every day. Through determination and vision, they’re not just participating in change—they’re driving it forward.

Our Fellows, many of whom are women, are compassionate leaders at the forefront of accelerating progress for displaced girls and women—creating pathways to education for peace where barriers once stood. In science labs and coding classrooms, through musical instruments and athletic fields, inside early learning centers and health clinics, and by tackling period poverty through our reusable menstrual pad initiative, they’re equipping the next generation of women leaders with tools to thrive.

What makes their work exceptional? Their deep understanding that lasting peace requires the full participation of women and girls. In communities from Greece to Jordan, Syria to Afghanistan, these innovators are creating sustainable solutions that recognize girls not as beneficiaries, but as future change-makers themselves.

The ripple effects of their work extend far beyond individual lives. When a girl learns to code, writes her first story, or completes her education despite conflict, entire communities benefit from her potential realized.

This International Women’s Day, we recommit to supporting women’s leadership in peace building and education. By investing in their vision today, we help create a more equitable tomorrow. Because when women lead, humanity advances. When girls thrive, communities flourish. And when we accelerate action together, transformation follows.

Our programs would not be possible or sustainable without your support. It is your compassion and commitment to our cause that makes our work possible. Collectively, we can accelerate progress and forge a more inclusive world for women.
