OUR WORK

Members of the Work of Women association - WOW! - are making changes in this world. We are committed to improving women's lives in poor, rural villages around the globe.

WOW! members do this in very special ways. In keeping with World Neighbors approach of listening to local people and encouraging their empowerment, WOW! members play an important role in building people's awareness of problems, advocating for policy and action when appropriate and supporting villagers' work financially. Membership fees and donations support World Neighbors work on local community development in some of the poorest regions of the world, and improve the lives of women and their families.

By joining together in this work, our individual efforts are multiplied and truly create change. WOW! members support women in World Neighbors program sites as they build skills, community trust and better living conditions. Women are encouraged and helped to join together for development work that moves them beyond subsistence, improves their and their families' health and inspires increased participation and leadership in their villages and beyond. Involvement with this work changes our lives as well.
