Receiving direct aid and emotional support through the Sponsorship Program is just the first step for women as they begin rebuilding their lives after war. Women must also have the opportunity to receive education, job skills training and a means to earn an income so they can fully participate in the reconstruction of their communities. When women are given full access to rights and economic opportunities, the entire country fares better. Stronger women build stronger nations.

As a partner in the Stronger Women Fund, your monthly contributions will support Women for Women International’s programs of rights education, job skills training, access to capital and small business development for women survivors of war. Your funds will be sent to the country or program of your choice, and your regular donations will provide a sustainable base of support for these critical services that give women the opportunity to move from victims, to survivors, to active citizens who can help establish lasting peace and stability.

As a partner in the Stronger Women Fund, you can designate your monthly contribution to fit your needs – simply go to Donate Now and choose the amount and program of your choice. Then select “Yes, I want to be a partner in the Stronger Women Fund” to begin your monthly donations today!

For example, you may decide to make a monthly contribution of:

  • $20 to Nigeria. $20 provides rights education to one woman in Nigeria for one year. Your monthly gift will give 12 women each year the opportunity to attend these bi-weekly sessions, designed to help them embrace their political, economic and social rights. In Nigeria, the classes pay special attention to female genital cutting and the widowhood practice, two cultural practices which can cause psychological and physical harm to women. Many women have used this training to convince their local leaders to abolish the practices in their communities. 
  • $60 to Afghanistan. $60 buys 10 health supply kits for women participating in Health Training Workshops. The classes teach women about basic health issues, nutrition and preventative measures to help improve the health of themselves and their families. The kits include basic materials such as iodine and bandages and allow women to provide their families with basic health care. Your monthly donation will purchase 120 kits in just one year.
  • $100 to the Emergency Response Fund. Women for Women International must be ready for any humanitarian catastrophe that war brings. Donations to the Emergency Response Fund are used to expand our work to countries affected by war or to bring our programs to new areas in countries where we currently work. In the next six months, our focus is on expanding our efforts to Southern Sudan, where women are suffering tremendously from 30 years of civil war.
  • $150 to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. $150 provides trauma counseling to two women for one year. This counseling will help keep hope alive for a woman as she finds ways to start her life again after facing extreme violence, rape, isolation, and sometimes abandonment by her husband. Your monthly gift for one year will give this opportunity to 24 women.
  • $200 to Bosnia and Herzegovina. $200 provides a first-time loan to a woman in our microcredit lending program. Women use the loans to start or expand an income-generating project or small business. Your monthly gift will provide new loans for 12 women over the course of one year.
