Vision
World Connect imagines a future where women are educated and valued, where their health concerns are acknowledged and treated, where they’re paid fairly for their work, respected for their skills and for their pivotal roles in their communities. Where, freed from poverty, they can laugh and love and enjoy life. And where their kids, healthy and cared for, can experience childhood: learning to become self sufficient by going to school, playing baseball with a bat and a ball instead of a broomstick and a bottle cap, looking forward – without fear – to growing up.
