Sourced link to interview where a company representative gives information and statistics regarding their involvement with giving support to women in impoverished communities.
The changes mainly focused on making the article sound more neutral, consistent, and encyclopedic rather than promotional or organization-written. I tightened long or awkward sentences, standardized formatting like currency and punctuation, reduced mission-driven language, and shifted claims into more factual or attributed wording.
Added some links, changed some wording for clarity.

This sentence is not support elsewhere and reads a tad promotional. I tagged it as multiple issues so that a more experienced editor can confirm. Will make a talk page post about it as well since the article doesn't seem to draw a lot of attention on its own.
Removing promotional subjective content.
Add 3 citations( Form 990 and one article of Gettysburg Connection) to support the description.
