Women for Women International (WfWI)began operating in South Sudan in 2006, working with displaced women and survivors of sexual and physical violence. Our first office was established in Rumbek before relocating to Yei.
We launched our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations (SWSN) program to provide the training, resources and support for women to achieve economic self-sufficiency and social change. As SWSN participants, women are able to choose and pursue different vocational tracks, including baking sewing and harvesting crops. As they learn to develop businesses and make a profit, they strengthen their skills in earning and saving money to sustain their livelihoods. In turn, they harness the power they hold to transform their lives and communities.
