Mission: Women4Women is a New York based nonprofit organization. Its mission is to empower women who face domestic violence to reach financial independence. Upon leaving a shelter, women and their children need to find safe housing, childcare and mental health support. They also need to return to school and/or secure a stable job. Thanks to an uplifting and generous community, thanks to a dedicated social worker and team of volunteers, Women4Women provides this wide range of support, one step at a time, so that women and their families can thrive.
