Giving Digest | Ruth Nazzinda - Storytelling as Giving
From her mother’s radio to international film stages, Ruth Nazzinda has shown that storytelling is an act of generosity. Her award-winning film To Survive did more than document, it birthed a foundation to feed vulnerable families, support teenage mothers, and remind us that giving can begin with a single story. Ruth’s journey proves that creativity, when shared, becomes sustenance, dignity, and healing for communities often left unseen.
You, too, can make stories that feed the soul and stomach. Support initiatives like the To Survive Foundation, or give to young creatives using film, music, and art for change. Every contribution amplifies silenced voices and nourishes lives. Give today, because stories that stir change need hearts that give.
