Our leadership
The purpose behind
our mission.
Founded in 2019, WORE grew from a commitment to stand with women and vulnerable communities. That commitment brings together women's leadership, the influence of traditional institutions and practical action.
We believe every woman should be heard, valued and able to shape her own future.
