April Shared Offering: Four Walls and a Roof

Four Walls and a Roof is a non-governmental organization working in collaboration with La Coordinadora de Mujeres Urbanas, a grassroots feminist organization in Cotacachi, Ecuador. Together, we seek to improve resources and services for women and children living in violence (domestic, interpersonal, and state-sanctioned) in the Andean region of Ecuador. Apart from general support for resources and local personnel, Four Walls and a Roof  is currently supporting the project of establishing the first battered women's shelter in the area--a facility we're working to ensure is sustainable, both environmentally and economically.Our church contributions will help support critical organizing led for women by women in Cotacachi. As a reminder, April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Four Walls and a Roof and La Coordinadora de Mujeres Urbanas work to support survivors of sexual assault and trauma.
