We all have that woman in our life who pushes us to be better in all the best ways. The female who displays God’s love through her actions and is a good neighbor in every sense of the word. She is the gal you find in the front row applauding the accomplishments of others and works against injustice in the world. The lady who is intentional in all she does. We put together a list of 10 impactful gift ideas, to show the woman who cares in your life, that you care about her this season.

She will find joy in this gift knowing it is providing clean water and giving precious time back to women and girls. This means they can focus more on their family, school, and income-generating activities.
