Developing Leaders
Mercy Beyond Borders will not be the one who stops the marginalization of females living in extreme poverty. We cannot grant them rights in their cultures and civil societies. No, that work belongs to the women and girls themselves. They are the ones who will do it!
Our role is to forge ways for these women and girls to learn, connect and lead. We open doors, provide resources, and instill an ethic of “paying it forward”.Then we stand back and cheer as they claim their voice and advocate for change.
