Gendercide Awareness Gala

We Celebrated 15 Years of Impact

The Gendercide Awareness Project Gala 2026 was not just a celebration — it was a powerful reminder of why this work exists..

We celebrated impact:

  • 338 girl-years of education delivered

  • 40+ girls supported across all levels

  • 7 graduates in professions

  • 3.9 million people educated on gendercide

  • 4 film screenings with expert panel discussion

These success stories are generational change in motion.

Beyond the numbers, the evening highlighted the real lives behind the mission — girls who became doctors, nurses, and leaders in their communities. Stories like Yoselin and Sreynoch show how education creates generational change.

Raising Awareness
3.9 Million People Can’t Unsee This.
Our traveling art exhibit has educated millions — and counting.
14,300 pairs of handmade baby booties. More than 2,000 square feet of floor space. One undeniable message.
The GENDAP art exhibit doesn’t just inform people about gendercide — it stops them in their tracks. Walls rise to the ceiling, layered with color, texture, and scale. Visitors don’t just view the exhibit. They feel it.
It generates national and international media coverage, bringing the issue into newspapers, radio, and television where it belongs. Every exhibition sparks new conversations, new donors, and new advocates.

Raising Awareness

“Gendercide is the elimination of females through sex-selective abortion, neglect, preventable maternal death, and the inability of older women to access food, shelter, and medical care.” — GENDAP

MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE
The Art Exhibit That Started a Movement
One Pair of Booties. 10,000 Missing Women.
Megan Putrah VonRuden, Managing Director, KGPCo

The GENDAP Art Exhibit transforms unimaginable statistics into something deeply human.

Spanning more than 2,000 square feet, the exhibit features 14,300 pairs of handmade baby booties — each pair representing 10,000 missing women and girls lost to gender-based discrimination, violence, trafficking, and inequality.

The exhibit has been displayed internationally to educate audiences, spark conversations, and make the invisible visible.

More than an installation, it is an experience that leaves a lasting emotional impact on everyone who walks through it.

“One baby bootie represents 10,000 missing women and girls.
Together, the exhibit contains 14,300 pairs of baby booties — representing the estimated 143 million women missing.” — GENDAP

EDUCATING GIRLS
338 Years of Education. Counting.
From preschool to college, across seven countries.
Each girl GENDAP sponsors receives everything she needs to stay in school — instruction, housing, three meals a day, healthcare, uniforms, and supplies.
Funds go directly to carefully vetted local education partners with proven track records in Cambodia, Guatemala, Nepal, India, and beyond.
Former scholarship girls are now doctors, nurses, educators, and community leaders. One girl educated changes a family. A community. A generation.

THEIR STORIES
From Scholarship Girls to World Changers.
One scholarship. One girl. A lifetime of impact.

“I want to be a doctor so I can give new opportunities to people who have no access to healthcare.”
 — Yoselin, Guatemala

Yoselin studied at Colegio Miguel Angel Asturias since first grade on a GENDAP scholarship. She went on to study medicine.

“I love being a midwife because I can impact two lives at the same time — both mother and child.”
— Sreynoch, Cambodia

One of GENDAP’s first university-level scholars, Sreynoch studied nursing at the University of Battambang and went on to become a nurse-midwife at a clinic in Battambang.

“I am very appreciated for your help and also happy to have you as my supporter for my study since I started my life at University, I have today because I had you.”
 — Mei Mei, Cambodia

Mei Mei received a GENDAP scholarship through Cambodia Village Fund in Battambang. She is now a second-year university student studying Banking and Finance.

“I am Mei Mei, one of scholarship girl of Cambodia Village Fund from Battambang province, Cambodia. For me and my family are fine.

Now I am a second year student from University of Battambang, My major is Banking and Finance (result of my study is good). When I graduate I want to work at a bank as accountant. I hope my dream will come true, and I am very appreciated for your help and also happy to have you as my supporter for my study since I started my life at University, I have today because I had you.

At the end, I would like to say thank you so much, and wish you good health, enjoy in your life, and safe when you go everywhere.”

Mei Mei

“My name is Yoselin and I am preparing to study medicine.
I have studied at the Colegio Miguel Angel Asturias [Guatemala] since the first grade, and I really love the ideals that the Colegio teaches, ideals that have been ingrained in me and which I hope to practice throughout my life. I love the classes I take here, especially art and physics, and I enjoy spending time with my friends during recess. I especially like our library because I love to read. I am so thankful for the opportunity to receive a scholarship because, for me, it is an incentive to study hard and better myself. In the future, I want to be a doctor so that I can give new opportunities to people without resources who do not have access to healthcare. The things that most motivate me to study and be successful, besides my family, is my wish to better my country for the future.”

How We Help

We fight the extreme devaluation of women that causes gendercide – by educating at-risk girls in low-income countries and raising general awareness of gendercide.

What is Female Gendercide ?

​The elimination of females through sex-selective abortion, gross neglect, needless maternal death, and the sheer inability of older women, particularly widows, to access food and shelter.
Educate a Girl
We’ve funded 338 girl-years of primary school!
Each girl receives instruction, room, board (3 meals per day), health care, uniforms, and school supplies. Funds are distributed to our carefully vetted education partners.

Where Have All The Girls Gone?
The number of missing females is expected to grow to 150 million by 2035, before beginning to decline. We can change that.

Let’s send our scholarship girls back to school!

Girls’ Education and Gendercide
At-risk girls need schooling to lift them out of poverty. Education is the best way to end gendercide.
