Women For The World

You can change the lives of women in poverty around the world

Women and girls, particularly those in poverty, constantly face gender discrimination, inequality and economic hardship. This year alone, there are estimated to be 388 million women and girls worldwide living in extreme poverty.

Since 2013, our dedicated Women for the World community have made remarkable strides, changing countless lives of women in poverty worldwide, helping provide education, developing livelihoods and improving healthcare and protection for some of the most vulnerable women and girls in marginalised communities.
