W I L I | Women's International Leadership Institute: Empowering Women Globally | WILI is a nonprofit organization and was organized in response to the problem of women in poverty who do not have the education or leadership skills to improve their economic situation- women whose day-to-day activities are so focused on survival at minimal subsistence levels that they can not move forward in terms of increasing their own education (and thus improving their economic situation) or skill-level in terms of economic self-sufficiency.
