HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP (none / 0)
Women for Women International helps these women directly.
I sponsor a woman in the Congo for $27 a month.
Financially: Your monthly contribution of $27 will help your sponsored sister recover from war. Your funds provide her with direct financial aid, rights awareness and leadership training, vocational skills training and access to income generating support, including microcredit loans.*
Here is what they do:
Women for Women International was founded in 1993 to help women overcome the horrors of war and civil strife in ways that can help them rebuild their lives, families, and communities. Women for Women International's tiered program begins with direct financial and emotional support; fosters awareness and understanding of women's rights; offers vocational skills training; and provides access to income-generation support and microcredit loans that together can help women restart their lives in ways that are independent, productive, and secure.
Women for Women International has direct experience in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, Kosovo, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Colombia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We have assisted more than 33,000 women, distributing $18 million in direct aid and microcredit loans.
