Every Donation Counts!

Big Ocean Women would like to express our immense gratitude for your donations and want to share with you some of the amazing successes and impact that these donations have made in the year 2024. 

A woman from South Sudan explained, “Big Ocean helped me tackle horrific child abuse in my village.” 

In Nigeria, after her husband’s murder, a woman was learning skills to be self-reliant from the programs of Big Ocean Women. 

Guatemala started a preschool to help teach and preserve their native indigenous language of Quechi, a language like many others that is becoming lost. 

In Jos, Nigeria women are focusing on the psycho-social being of vulnerable widows by educating them on having an abundance mindset. Fatima is leading our largest WAVE of over 130 women. Spiritually-based youth summits have been created to help support pregnant youth who have been disowned by their families, some as young as twelve years old. Scholarships have been created for these women to learn marketable skills such as sewing, hairdressing, and baking. 

Jinja and Buongo, Uganda both have built community jewelry-making businesses, five new feminine hygiene enterprises have been trained, and a well was built in Buongo providing needed water to the community, with training on how to maintain it. 

In our independent sewing schools, six WAVEs have been provided for with local sewing machines, fabric, and supplies. They are also making Big Ocean Women makeup bags that they are sewing and selling. Uganda started a bead necklace business to help support the self-reliance efforts of women in their community. 

Dammeron Valley community homestead produces hundreds of pounds of organic fruits and vegetables every year. 

Houston, Texas supplied kids of incarcerated parents with special Christmas stockings to let them know they aren’t forgotten. 

Ruth was brutally abused by her husband and hired as a skills teacher through Big Ocean Women. She and her sons are now safe.

USA WAVEs have supported hundreds of refugees with kits around the world.

And finally, we have two new WAVE leaders this year – one in South Sudan and one in Pakistan. 

Every donation is put toward the amazing cause and support of these women and the success of their families. Every small monthly donation is really making a difference. Thank you!
