Smart4Hosting.com especially likes this charity because it is based on education, and supplying tools to those who need them | Women for Women International envisions a world where no one is abused, poor, illiterate or marginalized; where members of communities have full and equal participation in the processes that ensure their health, well-being and economic independence; and where everyone has the freedom to define the scope of their life, their future and strive to achieve their full potential.
Our Core Values and Beliefs
Equality: All people are free and equal in dignity and rights: civil, political, social, economic and cultural.
Empowerment: The women who we assist are the leaders in their own lives. Tools are provided for each woman to rebuild her life.
Respect: The women we support choose their own value system. Options are presented to each woman but she is responsible for her own choice.
Diversity: Women are not simply refugees or victims of war but are survivors and individuals. No two women require the same support to heal, and no two societies can be rebuilt in the same way. Communication among women of varied backgrounds, national origins, race, and religion – both those who need assistance and those who offer it – must honor each other’s differences.
Investment: The one-on-one approach deals with macro issues through micro solutions. By strengthening local chapters we attempt to build or strengthen civil society in the countries where we work.
