Women’s Initiatives that Strengthen and Encourage
What is WISE?
WISE is a non-profit organization that helps women in developing countries establish and operate women's centers that encourage and support women's self reliance through education, communication and access to funds.
What does WISE do?
WISE raises
awareness and funds through presentations to women's groups, civic organizations
and clubs, schools, churches, retirement communities, and social gatherings
in homes.
How can you help other WISE
women?
Invite WISE women to give a presentation for your group. Learn about everyday life by viewing videos taken by women visiting Zambia, dance and drum using native instruments brought back. Crafts and jewelry made in the women's centers will be displayed.

Our mission is to inspire all women to become one with their own unique spirit. We believe that only when a woman is true to her whole self, including her dreams, desires and needs can she dance - A dance we call the Love Dance. It is a circle of women who give selflessly, receive acceptingly, reach out with courage, look inward without fear, and love themselves and others. Through self-help initiatives, raising awareness, and charitable donations, WISE provides women around the world with the opportunity to make their dreams of self-assurance and self-reliance come true.
