From a good education and a safe place to live to quality healthcare and economic opportunity, women and girls must meet 6 Essential Needs to succeed. Our work, determined by local women and girls, provides resources to help meet these needs.
Women’s health is one of the six essential needs that women need to survive. Because healthy women are more productive and can contribute to the prosperity of their communities, women’s health education and women’s health resources are the cornerstone of our programs.
