A Bridge 2 Thrive
LET'S THRIVE TOGETHER

Project Description
ABridge2Thrive was born from its leadership's history of mentoring women for over 25 years. We mentored women and guided many to thrive by providing physical, financial, legal, and professional assistance. We are now faced with an unprecedented crisis of BURNOUT among women. In 2019 World Health Association officially recognized workplace burnout in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).
We are asking everyone who mentored and helped women in the past, as well as those who want to take part in helping women in this crisis, to donate to our campaign. All donations are going directly to build and maintain our educational and mentorship program. We will be sharing our updates on a regular basis.
