Our Projects
Unlike many international organizations, MADRE resolved not to open offices in the countries where we work. Rather than bringing in "outside experts," we support existing women's organizations, ensuring that skills and resources remain in the community for the long term. By working in partnership with MADRE, our sister organizations are able to build programs based on their own initiatives and perspectives while benefiting from the resources, training and technical support that a leading international women's human rights organization can provide.
