An Invitation to sustain the work and how you may help
Because TW-MAE-W is the only full-time organization solely focused on this cause in the Philippines, we are able to reach thousands of women every year through our fieldwork. We do not stop at just helping our own long-term residents, we routinely venture out into the slums, the docksides, and the various red-light districts offering our support and a way out. Our ability to reach these women does not always translate into the same amount of help on the actual scale our network can reach. We have grown steadily throughout the last 24 years providing quality care in an authentically human environment. To sustain the quality services we offer, provide dynamic ways of implementing our development programs, and expand and modernize our facilities will enable us to provide more women life-line. We invite you to be a part of this life’s work.
