Women for Women International supports women who live in some of the world’s most dangerous places. Women enrol on the charity’s year-long training programme, where they learn how to earn and save money, improve their family’s health and make their voices heard at home and in their community.

Story

Women for Women
International (WfWI)
is an international charity that works directly with socially
excluded women in Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Iraq, Nigeria and Kosovo;
where war and conflict have devastated their lives and communities. Each woman
we help has her own story - some tell of loved ones murdered, and others speak
of physical and emotional trauma, but most have endured a struggle for survival.

WfWI provide a
year-long programme that equips women to earn
money
, regain their confidence
and actively participate in their
communities. Once women are enrolled in the programme, they are matched with a
global network of sponsors, which will provide monthly assistance and emotional
support, through financial contributions and letters. Women enrolled with WfWI
learn job skills and receive business training. They come to understand their rights and how to
fight for those rights in their homes, communities and nations.
