HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT IDENTIFYINGTHIS PROBLEM?
There is a great woman the Bible talksabout in Proverbs 31 but most of us arenot able to live up to that type of a
woman.
We realised there is cultural and socialissues that affect us negatively aswomen eg. Abuse, poverty etc.W

EFFECTIVENESS
DWC projects give hope, mentoring and peer support to
vulnerable women to aspire for a better life instead of
resorting to negative and criminal behaviour.
DWC also mobilises members and friends to be concernedabout the wellbeing of others and motivate them to give for a
better future for others, especially women, who in turn will
impact the future of their children.
