Women for Women International

  • Women for Women International works with socially excluded women in eight countries where war and conflict have devastated lives and communities. Each woman we serve has her own story–some of loved ones murdered, and others of physical and emotional trauma. Most have endured a struggle for survival.
  • When we enroll women in our one-year program, they learn job skills and receive business training so they can earn a living. They come to understand their rights and how to fight for those rights in their homes, their communities and their nations and become leaders.
  • Women for Women International (WfWI) believes that lasting change can only be achieved when women have access to both knowledge and resources. (What we do).
  • Notes from the Field.
