Funding Partners
Our funders and donors recognize that our work is critical. Without their support, WAW’s life-saving and life-changing work would not be possible. Our partners know that countries that violate the human rights of women and girls are also prey to anti-democratic, destabilizing influences. Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organizations, like WAW, are key to ensuring that human rights are upheld and that democratic values are instilled at a grassroots level. CSOs and NGOs, like WAW, have made remarkable progress against overwhelming odds. We are confident this support will continue.
