Below you will find some initiatives we implemented, as well as the ones we are working on bringing into fruition as well.
walk with a purpose
We would love your support to assist us with carrying out our annual breast cancer/ cancer walks. We will be honoring the precious fighters, survivors, and those we lost to cancer in any shape or form as well. Often times when individuals get diagnosed with cancer they stand in need of financial support, but emotional support is just as vital too. Assistance with bills, treatments, procedures, education and essentials will be provided to select individuals in need. We want to come alongside these precious people and provide the much needed support systems. Our heart is to build a community of safety, love, enriching, strength and hope. We also realize that their families stand in need of these support systems too. The funds collected will assist with ensuring that these gaps are filled. We will be providing healthy refreshments and walking tools like cooling towels to everyone who attends these walks as well. Family, friends, loved ones, partners, and those in our local communities are welcomed!

The sister-sister initiative
This initiative was launched during the pandemic. It is geared towards assisting women from various walks of life with their essential needs, but in addition to those needs, it is also designed and intended to assist with purposeful dreams and aspirations as well. For example, starting and furthering their education, fostering entrepreneurship, funding businesses with the resources they need to start, grow and become successful.
Pouring into mental, physical and emotional needs is a major part of this initiative as well.
To date we have assisted various beautiful souls with the funding needed to carry out their aspirations.
We have connected with like-minded organizations, companies and charities to select eligible women to disperse the funding we collected.
In addition to these distribution processes mentioned, we assist women in our local communities and in other countries as well.
Young Ladies empowerment
We had the pleasure of connecting and partnering with The Tirop Foundation in 20. Their mission is to establish equal opportunities for International Medical Graduates, and to allot all Medical Students with the same clinical opportunities, because of this life giving organization, we are now connected to and partnering with The Eldoret Children’s Rescue Centre.
It was established in 2002 to host street children. There is a huge population of street Children in Eldoret. There are orphans, children who ran away from their homes and the disabled. Some of them come from homes challenged with adversities of barely meeting the basic minimum human needs. Eldoret Children’s Home is located in Eldoret town in Kenya.
It houses hundreds of children, teenagers and disabled adults. The center provides rescued children with basic necessities such as food and shelter. It also rehabilitates street kids by steering them away from drugs and integrating them back into the society. It is an extremely safe haven. The amount of children, teens and disabled populations coupled with scarcity of resources, proposes a need to assist with better living conditions, basic needs and education. This is where Balanced Women comes in! We will be working with these impactful organizations to give some relief in these areas.
In February of 2023, we have established and launched, “The You are Loved Drive” that will take place annually on Valentine’s Day. We will be sponsoring manicures, pedicures and hairdos to chosen young ladies and a few young men in need as well.
It was also expressed that Eldoret as well as other Rescue Centers are in need of feminine products for the young ladies.
We packaged bags of essentials that included but were not limited to feminine products, deodorant, lotion, socks, body wash, nail polish for the young ladies, chap stick, journals & pens, a piece of jewelry for the young ladies, chocolate, and a love note.
We firmly and wholeheartedly believe that a huge part of leading a well-balanced life, is to ensure that you pour into your mental health and engage in self-care practices as well. We desire for these beautiful individuals to feel loved, special, valued and appreciated. Hence the reason why we are conducting this drive on the day set aside for all things love.
In addition to these efforts, we will be assisting some young ladies with their fees for primary and secondary (high) school, and providing some other necessities as well.
community outreach
Feeding those in need
On Saturday December 17th. 2022 we served our local communities by visiting the precious souls on the streets of Palm Beach County.
We provided breakfast sandwiches, essentials like toiletries and clothing, and words of encouragement by means of prayer and including bibles in specially hand crafted packages.
Every person we had the pleasure of meeting with were truly refreshed, uplifted and filled with joy.
Our heart is to continue to make this initiative an ongoing one as well.
Our Mother’s Day floral deliveries
In lieu of Mother’s Day in May of 2021 we delivered flowers to some of the wonderful moms in our local communities. Each arrangement included hand-written words of love, encouragement and hope as well.
They were truly in awe and everyone of them had the most beautiful smiles.
