Amplifying Women’s Voices
When women around the world do not have access to the same rights, opportunities and resources as the rest of society, we all suffer. By empowering women to have an education, a dignified livelihood and a community that supports them, we are helping communities move forward.
Through CWS programs around the world, women are rising to meet the challenges they face. They are going to school and learning to read and write. They are building businesses and expanding enterprises. They are putting food on the table and providing for their children.
When women rise, they take their families and their communities with them. And we're here to help them as they do it.
