Changing the World!
The Global Fund for Widows is the world's leading non-profit organization dedicated to economically empowering widows. GFW innovated a financial inclusion solution to offer a permanent and sustainable source of capital to the world's poorest and most vulnerable: widows. Our WISALAs - the Widows' Savings and Loan Associations - are award-winning micro-banks disrupting micro-finance and proving to be an important financial catalyst.
Through our programming, GFW has led successful empowerment interventions that have economically empowered 20,000 widows, impacting 55,000 of their children, in 8 countries. Empowered widows have used their elevated status and voice to change discriminatory behaviors, advocate for themselves, and even give back to their community.
