THE CAUSE
Did you know that around the world, more than 370 million girls and women face sexual assault before they turn eighteen, and one in three will experience domestic violence in their lifetime? These numbers are heartbreaking.
But Bible Societies are responding—one girl, one woman, and one family at a time—bringing hope, healing, and the chance of a new beginning.
This month, we’re highlighting how the Bible Societies in Guatemala, Cameroon, and Peru are supporting women and girls, helping to break the cycle of violence and transform lives.
Simply use the secure online donation form or internet banking to make your gift to help bring hope, healing, and practical help to women and girls seeking a way forward.

Restoring Hope for Vulnerable Girls in Cameroon
Since 2008, the Bible Society of Cameroon has been bringing hope through Project Esther—an initiative supporting teenage mothers, victims of sexual exploitation, and girls at risk. The project helps them find healing, restore dignity, and discover their true identity in Christ.
Through workshops and mentoring, each girl receives:
Spiritual strength through Bible study, prayer, and Christian values.
Emotional healing from trauma, with counselling and care.
Practical knowledge about health, rights, and leadership.
Economic empowerment through vocational training and income-generating skills.
YOUR GIFT CAN OPEN THAT DOOR
Your gift today can help transform the future of vulnerable girls in Cameroon—giving them hope, strength, and a new life rooted in God’s Word.
