Madison Walser - Charities

Coming from the south and being a recovering christian, one of the issues I hold very near to my heart is women's empowerment. I hope to help women learn to believe in themselves and feel more confident in breaking down societal constructs they face on a daily basis. As a student, I did a lot of work in women's health which fueled this fire even further. Everyone should understand the importance of discussing women's and no woman should ever feel scared or uncomfortable doing so. Having control and understanding over your body is power. I believe breaking down barriers for women will lead to the betterment of all society. I have plenty of thoughts, opinions, and knowledge on this topic so if you want to chat drop me a message.

Below please find some links to charities I support and resources to learn more:

Maasai Girls Rescue Center

A particular organization that I donate too. Maasai Girls Rescue Center aims to rescue the most at-risk Maasai girls, providing them with food, shelter, medical care, and a nurturing environment. The goal in the long run is to build a sustainable social enterprise that empowers girls to break the cycle of poverty and become financially independent.
