GalaThursday 3rd May 2012

Guildhall, City of London

Women for Women International works with women in eight countries where warand conflict have devastated lives and communities. In a world where 70% of thepoorest are women, investing in women is crucial to achieving broader long-termdevelopment goals. As the hallmark of a civilised society, the wellbeing of womenhas critical implications for communities and ultimately nations as a whole.

This is particularly true in war and post-war contexts. Women are disproportionatelyaffected by conflict; they are targeted for rape and violence, they are forced fromtheir homes, they lose husbands and children and often become the sole providersfor their families. Yet, despite the atrocities and brutalities women endure, theiroverriding courage, strength and hope continue to sustain them and inspire the restof us.

Since its foundation in the US in 1993, Women for Women International has helpedmore than 398,000 women across Afghanistan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, DemocraticRepublic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan. Whenwomen enrol in our one-year programme, they receive financial and emotional support, education and job training, as well as access to business skills, capital andmarkets. They leave the programme with an understanding of their rights and howto fight for them, having developed important, supportive social networks. By distributing more than £64 million in direct aid and micro-credit loans, Women forWomen International has helped women survivors move toward economic self-sufficiency, providing access to economic and social opportunities that bringindependence and respect.

We know that lasting change can only be achieved when women have access toboth knowledge and resources. In providing women survivors with the tools necessary to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency, we create viable and long-lasting change in communities. We are changing the world -one woman at a time.

The UK Gala 2012 marks the 6th anniversary of Women for Women InternationalUK. Thank you for joining us to celebrate our work to date and helping us raisemuch-needed funds and awareness to support our goals for the future.

One woman can change anything,many women can change everything

Auction & Pledge

Domitile, Rwanda

I’m 65 years old and a mother of 13 children. I am marriedand live in Bukavu with nine of my children and my husband – my other children have sadly died.

Three years ago rebels came to my village in Walunguterritory whilst my husband and I were asleep in ourhouse. They looted everything; goats, cows - everythingwe had they took away.

I tried to escape. One of them chased me and I fell into avery deep trench, breaking my back. The rebels jumpedinside after me and raped me in the trench.

Women from my church found me after I was attacked and took me to the hospital. Fortunatelyfor me, I was not infected with HIV. I went to three hospitals in total and spent two months having treatment.

Meanwhile, the rebels had taken my husband to the forest where he spent two months beingbeaten every day. He now has no teeth and trouble breathing because they beat him so severely. Fortunately, he was able to escape and find me again.

Our house was destroyed and we had to leave the area because it was not safe to stay. Beforethe conflict I was strong; I had my cows and my house in the village, I could eat milk, beans, potatoes - whatever I wanted. After, I had to beg to survive, I suffer whenever I think about it.

It is not easy for me, I need support to forget what happened to me.

Panzi Hospital referred me to Women for Women International after my treatment so that Icould have economic support. Since I have been with Women for Women International, I havereceived sponsorship funds and I am saving three dollars a month and I am learning soap-making.

It is thanks to Panzi Hospital and Women for Women that I live today. May God bless them.

Live PledgeFor the Women of Democratic Republic of the Congo

Tonight, we ask you to pledge as much as you can to achieve our mission of raising

£150,000 to help 600 women

in Democratic Republic of the Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo has been described as the worst place in theworld to be a woman or a child. Despite the signing of international peace agreements, a brutal conflict continues to devastate Eastern DRC. Women have shouldered a disproportionate burden of the conflict. Every hour, about 48 womenare raped in DRC. This means 1,152 women every day, and more than 410,000 inone year.

This is the reality for women in DRC:

• 80% of us are from villages that have been attacked• More than half of us think about hurting ourselves• 60% of us are illiterate• Half of us only eat one meal per day • 42% of us have never attended school • 7 out of 10 of us live below the global poverty line

This is what your support will do:

Women in DRC will receive education in rights awareness, life skills training and vocational training, numeracy and business skills. The one-year programme wasdeveloped for DRC’s specific challenges and demands. For 2012 the vocationaltraining options for women in DRC are agriculture, tie-dying, soap making, smallbusiness management, bread making, ceramics, brick making, tailoring, beautycare, and basket making.

“The reality for a Congolese woman often is that she is the one buyingthe food, paying the rent and schools fees, the one working on thefarm, kitchen and markets. This is hard in a community where sexual violence, HIV-AIDS, poverty, unfair cultural practices and human rightsviolations are prevalent”.

Jeanette Mabango MapendoDemocratic Republic of the Congo

Jeanette is the mother of four daughters. Her home was invaded by rebelswho brutally attacked and raped her and killed her husband. She was pregnant at the time and subsequently miscarried from the assault. Shealso lost a leg. After the attack she had no choice but to become a beggarto support herself and her daughters.

While begging, she met an evaluation officer from Women for Women International who helped her get clothes and money for food. She hassince received trauma and psychological help from Women for Women International and physical help from the Panzi hospital. She has learnt thatshe can have a skill despite physical limitations, and now sells doughnutsand toys at the market.

TheonillaRwanda

Theonilla is married with 5 children. She started the programme withWomen for Women International in October 2010, when she was 8 months pregnant.

Before she joined the programme, the brutal conflict in Rwanda had leftTheonilla and her family very poor. She was unable to afford health care orsend her children to school. Since joining, her life has changed considerably. The sponsorship funds which she receives every month havehelped her to buy medical insurance, to pay school fees for her childrenand to buy pigs. She has also started an income generating activity in asmall market in their village where she sells soap and salt. Theonilla’s hardwork has also created a job for her husband who runs a small business inthe market near their home.

With the knowledge she acquired from the training, she engaged in productive farming where she is now involved in mainly growing of pineapple, maize and banana. This is supplemented through the rearing of livestock such as cows and pigs.

Theonilla is very grateful to her sponsor sister and to Women for WomenInternational for changing her life, and giving her family a future.
