Networking
Supporting one another
There are a lot of non-profit organizations that are doing great work, especially with girls and women in sub-Saharan Africa and the Diaspora. We want to encourage and support each other as there is plenty of work to be done but few laborers. We also believe in collaboration - why should both of us work separately to achieve the same goal when we can bring our best to the shared table and do much more?
Here are some of our friends - that is, great organizations that we like and respect. We collaborate with some, and support all. If your non-profit or non-governmental organization is interested in collaborating with IEWAD, please contact us.
