Women for Women International

Mission

Women for Women International provides women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts with the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency, thereby promoting viable civil societies.

Programs

Our strategy promotes rights-based development by supporting women as they take control in rebuilding their lives and generating economic sustainability in their communities. A multi-phase approach combines: direct aid, emotional support, skills training, rights education, leadership training, microenterprise and small business development. Underlying all program activities is the idea that women will advance from victim to survivor to becoming active, self-assured members of their communities.
