The organisational structure of Women for Change comprises
an Annual General Meeting, a Board of Trustees, a Board of
Directors and staff.
At grassroots level, membership of Women for Change is drawn
from rural communities that form rural groups. Members of
the rural groups are the actual recipients of the Women for
Change services. Each group comprises women and men living
in the same community and sharing a common vision, that of
breaking the cycle of poverty. Membership ranges from 35 to
40 persons per group.
Annual General Meeting
Women for Change holds an Annual General Meeting comprising
of representatives from area associations, trustees,
directors, and staff. Representatives of sister
organisations that WFC network with and partners are also
invited as observers. At the Annual General Meeting, reports
from Area Associations, the Board Chairperson, the Executive
Director and all departments are represented. The Annual
General Meeting reviews the work of the organisation, adopts
plans of action and also adopts new members of the Board of
Directors.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees consists of three members. The
Chairperson of the Board of Directors is an ex-officio
member of the Board of Trustees. The other two are prominent
members of the civil society chosen for their high level of
honesty and integrity. Their role is that of being the legal
custodian of the property and assets of the organisation.
Board of Directors
This is the main body, which oversees Women for Change
programs. Members of the Board of Directors constitute the
Executive Committee. They are selected by virtue of their
