Bosnia and Herzegovina

Project Independence and Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Women for Women International, with Soroptimist International
support, will strengthen existing programs to women survivors
of the Balkan wars. As international government aid declines,
the local programs need new sources of funding to reach out to
additional women who still need assistance. The formal economy
has improved little, leaving virtually no options for survivors
to support themselves. Funds from Project Independence will allow
expansion of program capacity to reach more women still struggling
to find jobs, as well as expand our microcredit lending program.
