WOMANKIND Worldwide concentrates on:
Supporting women’s organisations in the belief that, just as a group of women has greater strength than one woman alone, women can best bring about significant change by getting together
Development rather than welfare, with an emphasis on funding projects that include enabling women to become aware of and use their human rights.
WOMANKIND Worldwide believes women in developing countries are a powerful force for change
Women have an abundance of practical ideas for improving their own lives and lifting their families and communities out of poverty. But this can only happen if they have the confidence and opportunities to articulate their needs and ideas - and be listened to
WOMANKIND Worldwide is the only UK charity devoted to enabling women to achieve this
They work closely with 55 partner community groups in 15 developing countries. This means that the projects they fund and support tackle the specific issues in a particular area, rather than trying to import a 'one size fits all' solution from the UK.
All their projects are connected to enabling women to understand their legal rights. And to use these rights to benefit their daily lives. Where new legislation is needed to protect women or improve their status, they help their partners secure this too.
WOMANKIND also runs a programme of work in the UK
At WOMANKIND there are often opportunities for volunteering at their London office
You might be placed in any of the main departments; Programmes & Policy, Fundraising & Communications, and Finance & Administration.
