Women for Women International expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the individual sponsors and supporters, institutional donors, board members and advisors, interns, volunteers and staff who make our work possible. OUR PLEDGE TO YOU Women for Women International deeply appreciates the generosity of its donors. Indeed, it is a privilege and an honor to be chosen as the recipient of these philanthropic contributions. We recognize that each donor has many choices when deciding how and where to give. Please know that we value and appreciate your support of Women for Women International. We will not take your support for granted and we will work diligently to ensure that we fulfill our promises to the women we serve and to the donors who make our work possible. VOLUNTEERS Thank you to our volunteers who provided nearly 4,500 hours of service in 2009. Your contributions are crucial to our achievements. All That You Have Done 18 SUPPORTERS Thank you to all our supporters who have helped to drive awareness about the challenges the women in our programs face by raising your voices and opening your networks. You are part of a movement that is bigger than all of us. Women for Women International’s global network is key to improving the lives of women survivors of war. Strategies for change are often initiated, planned and executed from the top echelons of society, far removed from the individuals, families and communities that are most directly affected. WfWI has demonstrated that change can also be effectively generated from the bottom up. Through our Sponsorship Program, a woman and her sister begin a global conversation that helps to raise awareness of the status of women survivors of war. This conversation helps build bridges of mutual respect and understanding, and it inspires us to echo the voices of our sisters and lead change in our own lives, families and communities.
