Women’s Initiatives Network (WIN) is a Netherlands-based nonprofit organization dedicated to gender equality and empowerment of women and girls in the Netherlands and in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Created in 2010, WIN is a vibrant and ever-growing network of women and men with a wide range array of expertise in numerous areas, especially in gender-sensitive programming and women’s economic empowerment as well as community/rural development and employment.
WIN also benefits from the dedicated support of a number of volunteers interested in our cause.

It is a well-known fact that economic support given directly to women in developing countries often yields better economic and social returns to their families/communities than when given to their male counterparts. Yet women and girls in Sub Saharan Africa who are at the highest risk are still largely without much need support and are economically disadvantaged.
Women and girls have a key role to play in overcoming poverty.
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice” – Nelson Mandela.
You can participate in WIN either as a supporter or as a beneficiary.
Membership to WIN as a supporter is open to anyone female or male with a passion to support initiatives lead by women from Africa. Support can be through self-funded volunteering, training, coaching, funding and networking.
