Virtual ways to support women survivors of war
FUNDRAISE WITH US
Coronavirus has changed our lives and the impact is being felt across the world. Poverty, conflict, and gender discrimination make the women we serve most vulnerable to infectious diseases.
The pandemic has disrupted fundraising at a time when women survivors of war need our support more than ever.
Here’s how you can help and raise vital funds for women living in the world’s most dangerous places, whilst staying safe and healthy. As lockdown rules ease, we're also excited to offer you places in some of London's best running events.
Get involved in virtual fundraising with Women for Women International!
Join our #SheInspiresMe Squad
Do you want to challenge yourself this year? We're thrilled to have places for the Brighton Marathon and Brighton 10k in 2022. We're also planning some other exciting challenges so keep an eye on this page for updates.
We would love for you to join our #SheInspiresMeSquad!
SHARE SUPPER CLUB
At times of isolation, we can rely on food to bring us together. Sit down and share a meal with your friends.
We have developed a toolkit to make it easy for you to organise a lunch or dinner party for your friends, using Share: The Cookbook as an inspiration.
Pick the same dish for you to all create, ask each guest for a small donation and enjoy traditional recipes crafted by our programme participants.
HOST A FEMINIST QUIZ
Gather your friends and family online for the ultimate Feminist Quiz. Ask everyone to donate £5 to participate and test their knowledge of women’s rights.
Have fun whilst raising vital funds for women living in the world’s most dangerous places!
Become a corporate partner
Women for Women International believes that businesses have the potential to transform lives. We seek partnerships which are built on strong, long-term and authentic relationships.
Interested in helping change the lives of women survivors of war through your business?
Start a Fundraising Skillshare
If you too are all quizzed-out from the first lockdown, why not showcase your hidden talents to your friends and family whilst also raising vital funds for our work?
Host an art class, yoga session or photography lesson and teach your friends something new. Set up a Just Giving page and bring your loved ones together for an interactive evening with a cause!
ONLINE SHOP WITH PURPOSE
Our corporate partners have been instrumental to our mission and their support enables us to continue reaching women living in some of the world’s most dangerous places.
Head to our blog for inspiration from brands like Mint Velvet and NET-A-PORTER, which not only treats you but also helps support women survivors of war.
Have your donation matched by your employer
If you fundraise for Women for Women International, make sure to ask your employer if they run a matching gift programme. Employers are often happy to double or triple match their employees' donation.
Corporate matching is a great way to boost your fundraising as the money you raise will make even more of an impact on the lives of the women we serve, at no extra cost.

Shevolution
"The biggest success for us personally was that the entire project from start to finish was created exclusively by women, for women, and that we are now able to donate the fruits of this labour to sisters in need of support."
Selina McCole
"Having been blessed with peace, freedom and opportunity, I feel a sense of duty to help women who have not enjoyed such privileges, and who through no fault of their own have suffered terrible losses and must feel as if the outside world has forgotten about them."
Anne Boisier-Fouché
"When I received the inspiring email about hosting a Share event, I immediately thought that this was something I had to do: sharing a meal with my friends and telling them about Women for Women International fit perfectly together."
