After negotiating permission from her uncle to leave the house, Farida walked two hours to the community centre where she knew Women for Women International were enrolling women. Her neighbour had told her about the programme that would give her the skills, knowledge and opportunity to earn an income. After queuing with over 1,000 women, Farida waited and when her turn came, she was turned away. Women for Women International only had 500 places. “Through the Women for Women International programme, my role in the family changed 100%. I support my husband and five children – I have money and I have respect.”

This was a dark day for Farida and a dark day for Women for Women International, who want to help more women. Tonight you can pledge and help us raise £100,000 to help 200 women. With your help 200 women like Farida will enrol and receive direct financial aid, business skills training, vocational training and rights education. As a result they will have improved health, break their isolation, gain and sustain an income and start taking decisions that will improve their lives.
