Mission Statement
Women Helping Women, Inc. is dedicated to the economic and educational empowerment of at risk women in the U.S. and third world countries.
About This Cause
The primary objective of Women Helping Women (WHW) is to assist the women of Guinea West Africa to become self-sufficient, moving them from a state of desperation and poverty to hope and independence. This objective is achieved through our effective result oriented programs that are based on economic development, training and education. The current training programs include: Fabric Dyeing, Sewing, Soap Making and Farming. There are 33 major cities in Guinea and WHW is operating in four (4) at present. The short-term goal is to expand these programs into ten (10) cities. Long-term goal is for WHW to operate in all 33 cities in Guinea. The plan is to replicate this program throughout the country, enabling women to change their future direction toward sustainability. Guinea, like many developing nations, is experiencing severe poverty, poor housing, sub-standard or no medical care, high infant mortality rates, HIV/Aids at high rates and little or no education, especially for girls and young women. The young girls and women of Guinea are often not educated, have few if any marketable skills and are often the victims of violent crimes. This very fragile population is being served by WHW. Women Helping Women or its French derivative Femme Aide Femme has been operating as an indigenous NGO in Conakry Guinea since 2004. The President, Officers, Advisors, Mentors and Clients are all Guinean. We believe the success of this program is based on local leadership on the front-line of the day-to-day operation which includes: planning, training, allocating of resources and collecting of statistical data. WHW USA’s role has been primarily financial and limited technical support. Our efforts must involve, respond to, and be accountable to the people who will be affected by the results achieved. Here in Metro Atlanta, WHW suppport job training and job search for women in homeless shelters. We also provide financial donations and non-cash donation of priority items identified by the shelters. We currently serve six (6) homeless women shelters. This is how we accomplish our goal of service "across the street, around the world". Please join the W.A.R. of helping Women At Risk at home and abroad. Thank you.
