women for women international

“Women for Women International provides 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, thereby promoting viable civil societies.”

I’ve been a Women for Women International sponsor for over a year, and it’s a sheer privilege. When you receive a hand-written letter from a woman your age in Kosovo who has five kids and no running water, and she’s thanking you for helping her to build her confidence and hope – you know you’re doing something worthwhile, as little as it is.

5% of every Fire Starter session with my clients goes to the charity of their choice: Kiva, for micro-lending to third world entrepreneurs, or Women for Women International. WfW is backed by some very heavy hitting politicos, celebs and activists. Most importantly – WfW is helping women from war torn countries to rebuild their lives.
