A few days ago, we introduced you to Sister4Sister, a community organization dedicated to empowering women by providing resources and opportunities for females of all ages. Now I want to share information on an organization on a larger scale.
Women for Women International is a program dedicated to “helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives.” The program works with the countries of Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and Sudan. They stress the values of equality, empowerment, respect, diversity and investment in order to make a difference in the lives of these women.
This video explains the mission of Women for Women International and the Sponsorship Program in which sponsors pledge $27 per month to support one woman for a year while the woman takes part in vocational and technical skills training, rights awareness and leadership education.
Women for Women International says to have empowered more than 250,000 women and contributed more than $79 million in direct aid, microcredit loans and other services. For individuals who do not wish to participate in the Sponsorship Program, the website provides various other opportunities to contribute through direct donations or volunteer efforts.
The website has tons of resources, videos and podcasts available. Take a look for yourself and consider making a difference in the life of a woman.
