How else can I support AstraFemina?
AstraFemina raises money to help pay for our member travel so that our partner organizations, many of whom do not have access to significant resources, can have access to women role models. Providing travel funds for our members broadens the communities with whom we can engage. Interested in donating? Donate here.
