Why Network?

The essence of networking for Women for Change is to share resources and action strategies in working for gender equality and community empowerment. Networking allows Women for Change to stay in touch with what is happening locally, regionally and internationally and use the information and resources gathered in efforts to help the Zambian rural woman.

How?

Local NGOs with whom WFC has strong relationships include: Zambia National Women's Lobby, Young Women’s Christian Association, Zambia Association for Research and Development (ZARD), NGO-Co-ordinating Council and Caritas, among others. WFC's networking extends to international NGOs such as SNV-Zambia, World Vision and Care International.
