Women for Women International (WfWI) works to provide women survivors of war and civil strife with resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency. WfWI delivers these resources through a year-long programme that begins with financial aid and emotional support. Participants learn about their legal rights; receive training in health awareness, numeracy, budgeting and saving, decision-making and negotiation, and civic participation; learn business and vocational skills; and gain access to income-generating activities. WfWI works in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the DRC, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Sponsor a woman through the one-year programme for £22 per month. For more information, go to www.womenforwomen.org.uk or follow us on @womenforwomenUK.
