A woman in Russia
needs your help.
Streets to Hope has a simple mission.
-
Identify Russian women in need.
Using Telegram and VK, we reach out to networks of marginalized women forced into terrible healthcare situations because of political and religious oppression in Russia. We specifically look for women who are forced to have abortions or risk losing their housing, income, and other means of survival.
-
Empower these women to make their own choices.
After a background check and interview, we provide small monthly stipends and logistical support to help women resettle in the West, primarily Finland, where they are connected to healthcare, housing, employment, and community.
-
Help these women rebuild their lives.
Whether they stay in the West or return to Russia, we ensure they have strong connections to community and employment, and we make sure they are free to exercise their rights of conscience, bodily autonomy, and self-determination without fear of recrimination or reprisal. They often connect us to the next dissident women in need.
Strong partnerships drive us.
People drive us.
Our leadership includes veterans of the US intelligence community, Russian NGOs, and others with a deep knowledge base in Russia.
Our operations are streamlined by all volunteer work, which enables us to put all funds directly to work on behalf of women in need.
Our networks are fueled by social media, connecting us to women in need without the prying eyes of the Kremlin or the Vory getting in the way.
Our partnerships with health providers, community groups, employment search firms, transportation, housing, and visa service companies enable us to offer comprehensive support to those in urgent need.
Make a donation.
Donations empower us to empower women.
100 percent of donated funds go directly to support Russian women in crisis.
Our goal is to support 500 women in 2023. So far, we’ve supported nearly 30 amazing recipients and need help to keep moving forward.
