Our Mission Statement

Working with and empowering remote rural communities, especially women to contribute towards sustainable development and the eradication of all forms of poverty.

The Vision

A society that is gender sensitive and socially, politically and economically empowered.

Background

The organisation was born out of an NGO known as Canadian University Services Overseas (CUSO) and was known as CUSO's Women's Development Programme, (WDP) until 1992 when it was transformed into an indigenous Non Governmental Organisation known as Women For Change. The existence of Women for Change as a Zambian NGO is based on the principle of non-partisan collaboration with civic, political and other organisations on matters concerning the development of rural communities.
