ABOUT US
Members of the Work of Women - WOW! - program are committed to improving women's lives in poor, rural villages throughout the world. By joining together in this work, our individual efforts are multiplied and truly create change. In keeping with World Neighbors approach, members partner with women in World Neighbors program sites to support collective work that builds skills, community trust and better living conditions. Women are encouraged and supported 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.
WOW! members join this effort by donating $35 ($25 for students) or more per year to WOW! at World Neighbors. Membership is spread throughout the world, but WOW! members are predominately girls and women living in the U.S. of all ages, backgrounds, races and religions.
WOW! is a World Neighbors program advised by a visionary group of women, who make up a special subcommittee of World Neighbors board of trustees. WOW! is managed by World Neighbors staff members Sundra Flansburg, WOW! coordinator, and Alicia Prickett, WOW! associate. Join our work!
