Advisory Board

As we continue to grow and expand, we strive to ensure that we keep the vision and mission of Women for Women International and the women in the field at the forefront. Through the advice and expertise of our esteemed Advisory Board we are able to continue movement towards our vision - to provide women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts with the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency, in turn promoting viable civil societies.
