Women for Women International
Women for Women 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. The tiered program of
Women for Women 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.
They have assisted more than 21,500 women, distributing 9 million
USD in direct aid and microcredit loans. Women for Women International
has experience in; Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Kosovo,
Bangladesh, Nigeria, Columbia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and
