ABOUT THE GROUPS
One Woman Initiative
The One Woman Initiative is an international women’s empowerment fund launched on May 12, 2008, with the Secretary of State and representatives of the diplomatic corps and NGO community at the U.S. State Department. With the pragmatic goals of engaging 10 corporate partners and working with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Department of State, OWI’s objective is that some $100 million dollars will be applied to empower women to achieve a local difference and a global impact, in five years.
