Women4Women International

So many women I have met have been affected by the story behind this organization. Time magazine devoted an article to Zainab Salbi, the amazing woman who has made it her life’s work to be in service to other woman. She is having a powerful influence on the planet . At age thirty eight, she is the founder of the Washington D.C. based group WomenforWomen.


There are more than thirty five million people displaced by conflict and most of them are women and children. Their stories are so unsettling they are hard to read. Women as old as seventy five and children as young as three are victims of a rape epidemic.

Salbi is determined to change that. Her group organizes "women's circles," forming support networks of women around the world to correspond regularly with women affected by war. According to Time, “More than 246,000 women in 58 countries have signed up as donors, supporters and sponsors, who exchange more than 100,000 letters a year.”

If you live in San Diego and want to help, take part in a wonderful fundraiser next Thursday evening, May 22. To gather more information hit this site, “Taste Of Humanity.”
