Work of Woman

Since 1951, World Neighbors has worked with the rural poor helping them overcome the challenges of hunger, disease and poverty. Through the commitment of our staff, partner organizations, the dedication of thousands of volunteers, support from foundations and private donors, World Neighbors is making a huge difference in the lives of our global neighbors.

Through membership fees and donations, WOW! supports and enhances World Neighbors efforts to improve the lives of women and their families. Through programs such as literacy education, food security, nutrition, leadership training, income generation, reproductive and community health, savings and credit, clean water and sanitation, and gender equity women are finding their voices. They are becoming stronger, learning more, speaking up and participating in the decision making process.

And just as women in World Neighbors programs become advocates for wider change in communities, WOW! acts as an agent of advocacy as well. Through awareness campaigns, educational events and the Web, WOW! members support the work of their sisters in the field. By speaking in one collective voice, we can guarantee that the whispers of the few are heard by many.

As a WOW! member, you’ll receive periodic e-updates on issues affecting women who struggle with poverty in rural communities around the world and opportunities to lead and participate in WOW! campaigns and activities. Best of all, you know that your involvement and support make a difference to women and their families.

Celebrate the Strength of Women

Through WOW! we are committed to doing more to provide women in World Neighbors programs with access to education, training, small business opportunities, credit and savings, and essential health care.

Women in our program areas are working to make life better for their families, but they are also pursuing their own dreams and aspirations.
