2. Contribute financially to our NEW Scholarship Program (Coming 2025!)
In most cases, women who flee an abusive relationship are financially dependent on their perpetrator and are more likely to be stay-at-home moms, leading to reduced work experience in a changing society. While returning to school may seem daunting, YEG BUILT FOR LIFE FOUNDATION encourages women to invest in themselves and their education.
