Pangea Organics is proud to announce our partnership with Women for Women International to provide 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.
For 2010, Pangea Organics has pledged to donate 5% of profits to Women for Women International to help women move from victims to survivors to active citizens.
About Women for Women International
Women for Women International (WfWI) is a global non-profit organization that envisions a world where no one is abused, poor, illiterate or marginalized; where members of communities have full and equal participation in the processes that ensure their health, well-being and economic independence; and where everyone has the freedom to define the scope of their life, their future and strive to achieve their full potential.
WfWI serves the most socially excluded women in conflict and post-conflict, war-torn countries who have lost everything – family, home, and health. Women enroll in a 12-month education program, receiving direct financial aid and emotional support. Through this program women gain rights awareness education and job skills training so they can support themselves and their families
Countries of operation include Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Sudan.
Since 1993, WfWI has distributed almost $79 million in direct aid and microcredit loans, assisting more than 250,000 women, and benefiting another one million family and community members. WfWI is a proud recipient of the prestigious Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize and has received hight marks from Charity Navigator for five years running.
