Changing HERStory is a group of Women Helping Women!



We come together twice a year to invest in the future of women around the globe

who are living in extreme poverty. 

Changing HerStory is dedicated to the economic empowerment of women

through the funding of microloans.

By giving microloans to women, we help them to lift themselves

and their families out of extreme poverty.

Such loans help reduce the risk of oppression and exploitation in their lives,

and encourage growth within their own communities.

Join us to hear about the amazing work being done by women, for women

nationally and internationally! Sign up HERE.
