On International Women's Day 1989,

WOMANKIND, a new British

women's organization was established

to support and fund women's activities

in developing countries.WOMANKIND's

objectives are to "promote greater understanding of women and

development issues, emphasizing the need for sustainable growth

strategies which do not lead to environmental and

social degradation."

 

WOMANKIND is breaking new

ground by raising funds for new self-

help organizations and innovative, pilot

projects for women in the Third World.

Small grants will be given to support

both the urgent, short-term needs and

long-term projects of women in developing

countries. Environmental improvement programs to

address the problems of environmental degradation

will be an important part of WOMANKIND's

funding efforts.
