Women for Women
Women for Women International (WfWI) works with the most marginalized women in conflict-affected countries to help them move from poverty and isolation to self-sufficiency and empowerment. Through our combined economic and social empowerment program, we aim to provide participants with a combination of knowledge, skills, and resources to increase their self-confidence and capacity to create sustainable change in their lives and those of their families and communities. We have worked with over 479,000 women across eight conflict-affected countries since 1993.
Through the year-long program, women learn about the value of their work in the family and local economy, basic health practices, their role in decision-making, women’s rights, and the benefits of working together in a group for social and economic purposes. The training is delivered to groups of 25 women at a time, and participants receive a monthly stipend. Support is provided to link women to a savings tool, either by opening formal bank savings accounts or by helping them establish savings and lending groups. For women who need it, we provide a limited series of numeracy classes to bring them to the level where they can better benefit from business and vocational skills training. We also provide referral services to women, connecting them to health and other financial services. Through this year-long program, we aim to achieve the following four primary outcomes:
- Women earn and save money;
- Women improve health and wellbeing;
- Women influence decisions in the home and community;
- Women connect to networks for support.
