Woodland for Women Worldwide is a coalition of students, teachers, staff and community members that is committed to bringing awareness to the many violations of women’s rights that still occur throughout the world today. It is our mission to provide support to non-profit organizations that work to free women from oppression. This year our fundraising efforts will be devoted to the following organizations:
The Somaly Mam Foundation is a nonprofit public charity committed to ending modern day slavery around the world.
