Women's Centers International (WCI) is a non-profit organization based in Berkeley, CA, dedicated to creating safe gathering places for women in resource-poor environments. Their innovative model focuses on providing vocational and life skills training, promoting women's agency over their lives, and supporting mental health and recovery from trauma. With a network of centers in Kenya, Uganda, Syria, and the USA, WCI empowers women to build prosperity for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Each Women's Center within the network adapts the model to local culture and needs, offering programs such as literacy and vocational training for improved livelihoods. WCI also prioritizes trauma-informed psychological support initiatives. Through their work, WCI aims to ignite the power of women, fostering their independence and resilience while addressing the economic cost of gender-based violence. By investing in women's empowerment, WCI contributes to creating a more equitable and prosperous world.
