Achieving Our
Objectives
The African Women's Welfare Group (AWWG)
is a Pan-African, London-wide grassroots
women's' organisation established to work
with all African communities and stakeholders
with particular remit for women and families.
Our primary role encompasses developing
policies and establishing strategic/operational
structures, and procedures within our own
communities' work practice and that of corporate,
local and national service providers.
Our programme development is contiguous
with agreed local, regional and national
priorities thus ensuring the formation of
real partnerships. These relationships enable
AWWG to influence policy development and
shape programme implementation at every
level. Consequently, we are able to offer
a complementary service, which through our
affiliations ensures pan African involvement
across geographical and cultural boundaries.
Mission
Our mission is to access to healthy living
services and afford opportunities for personal
development to the African woman, in order
to facilitate the full integration into
mainstream society and substantially increase
her wellbeing. It is our vision to advance
the cause of African women and families
through advocacy, patronage and promotion
within the general population and the state
apparatus. We are firmly committed to supporting
the choices for change that the African
woman makes in her life.
