In 2012, World Vision’s Strong Women Strong World (SWSW) was established to equip and empower women philanthropists and advocates in mobilizing our collective power — in support of World Vision’s mission — to partner with families and communities worldwide, especially women and girls, in breaking the cycle of poverty. We are committed to coming together to help women and girls to live life in all its fullness by creating a connection for women and men worldwide who recognize that gender equality is key to lasting social change, providing voice and resources to end extreme poverty and gender injustice.
Join the community by signing up for our newsletter, and by following us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
Women and girls in poverty face more obstacles simply because they were born female, obstacles that keep them from reaching their full potential.
As a reflection of God’s love for men and women, World Vision has been a leader in gender equality work for decades. It’s integrated into everything we do because when women and girls gain equal access and opportunity, children are better cared for, families are stronger, and communities are more prosperous.
11,801,328 women and girls were reached through World Vision's projects across all sectors and countries.
912,031 women and girls have benefited from access to financial services, savings groups, agricultural training, technology, and markets.

We are blessed to partner with hundreds of philanthropists and advocates and couldn’t do this work without them. And we’re able to reach more people because of our highly collaborative local and global partnerships within private and public sectors.

“The quickest way to empower a woman is to make sure she has clean water. And then, she can soar.”

"Nothing compares with seeing a child drink clean water for the first time. The sparkle in her eyes tells you her life just changed for the better, and you are never the same."
