Kikki-G is proud to support Women for Women International, a charity helping women survivors of war to rebuild their lives.
Since 1993, Women for Women International has reached over half a million of the most socially-excluded women survivors of war in Afghanistan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and Iraq. The women enter a 12-month holistic training programme. The training programme equips women to earn money, regain their confidence and actively participate in their communities. When a woman joins the programme, she comes together with 24 other women, forming a tight support group that helps to break the isolation caused by war and insecurity.
Women for Women International is a UK registered charity number 1115109.
I am thrilled to be part of WfWI. Its an incredible charity. A few years ago I was lucky enough to travel with them to Rwanda and seeing their program in action was truly humbling. As a former lawyer I love that the women who join their program are taught not just practical skills with which they can earn a living, but they are also taught about their human rights.
The WFWI annual car boot sale in Selfridges Car Park is one of the highlights of the year for me and my two daughters.
