Helping Thousands of Families with Affordable Housing
FFW is committed to "Collective Impact" – working together with partners to achieve the greatest social impact, change, and justice.
In keeping with this commitment, we recently formalized a partnership with Habitat for Humanity International, the most noted expert in housing help globally. Habitat sought a partner in Liberia to help them bring their housing expertise to this country after leaving decades ago due to the unprecedented civil war. Of all possible partners, Habitat chose the Foundation for Women – a tremendous testimony to the quality of work we do and are known for in Liberia.
Affordable safe housing is a huge challenge in this country of nearly 5 million people, the majority of whom live well below the global poverty level of $2/day. The Foundation for Women has been helping this population since 2006 with individual microfinance and business support, with financial and business support to low-fee independent schools, and with financial and business support to independent community health clinics. By adding this 4th pillar of service, FFW is now helping women and their families with all aspects of their lives – business, education, healthcare, and now housing.
