The Women of Hope Project is an organization by women for women to restore hope and dignity to women who have been oppressed and denied personal freedom, health, opportunity, and respect. We hope to create a sisterhood to encourage and provide resources to help these women recover from the traumatic devastation of 23 years of war. The women of the Women of Hope Project will be the back that these women stand on to rise above the ashes. The purpose of Women of Hope Project is to: Increase awareness of the state of women's needs in Afghanistan Mobilize people to respond to the needs of oppressed women and their families Equip women with vocational opportunities, resources, and training Empower women by restoring dignity, ambition, and the freedom to dream Provide educational opportunities Provide hopeless women with the hope of a future About the Founder & Director: Betsy Beamon, Founder & Director, a strong organizational leader and women's lay counselor, has a deep and stirring passion to help and serve oppressed women around the globe.
