In countries affected by conflict and war, Women for Women International supports the most marginalized women to earn and save money, improve health and well-being, influence decisions in their home and community, and connect to networks for support. By utilizing skills, knowledge, and resources, she is able to create sustainable change for herself, her family, and community. Since 1993, Women for Women International (WfWI) has provided women survivors of war, and conflict with resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency. WfWI delivers these resources through a tiered, yearlong program that begins with direct financial aid and emotional support. Participants also learn about their legal rights; receive life-skills training such as health awareness, numeracy, budgeting and saving, decision-making and negotiation, and civic participation; learn business and vocational skills; and gain access to income-generating activities where they can apply those skills and begin moving towards economic stability. Along with helping more than 478,000 women in the past 20 years to rebuild their own lives and those of their families and communities after war, WfWI uses its voice to call global attention to the unique role that women play in advancing peace throughout society. WfWI works in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Sudan. To learn more, please visit www.womenforwomen.org.

PAST Since 2011, Women Who Code built a vibrant community of nearly half a million technologists powered by the passion and dedication of 1,000 volunteers across 145 countries. Together, WWCode created over 20,000 community-led technical trainings, empowered individuals with $3.5 million in scholarships, and dedicated over a million hours to volunteer service. Women Who Code connected people to more than 14,000 career opportunities, all while nurturing leadership growth and career advancement strategies. Women Who Code fostered a global network through every connection and effort where everyone felt a sense of community and support. In April 2024, sadly, due to a lack of funding, Women Who Code had to shut their doors. PRESENT We are humbled to welcome Women Who Code to the LWT family of brands. Our two unique brands share the common passion of uniting business and technology leaders from all backgrounds to level up their skills, network with professionals who can support their career growth and increase their economic power.
