What is important to us

In our project work, we are guided by the idea of development based on gender justice that strengthens women and girls.

Where we work

As part of a global ecumenical movement, the Women’s World Day of Prayer supports the concerns of women worldwide. Given a limited amount of funding and resources, the project cooperation concentrates on selected countries.

Who we work with

From a recently established grass-root initiative to the well-connected human rights organisation, from the social movement in the capital to the farming cooperative in rural areas: the Women’s World Day of Prayer works with many different partner organisations.

How a project is initiated

At the beginning of a project, we often see how women and girls are dissatisfied with their living conditions and have a desire for change. Together with our local partner organisation, they reflect on what needs to change.
