Through Women

Through Women is a program that aims to benefit mankind by providing financial assistance to women in the form of scholarships, loans and grants.  By helping women, we enable them to take care of the elderly and sick, nurture children, strengthen the family, create jobs, take leadership positions in their communities, professions and governments, and promote peace.  Women in all countries of the world, who demonstrate leadership potential and drive, and need financial assistance to meet their potential, are eligible to receive financial assistance.  In 2007 Through Women gave scholarships to five gifted Guatemalan women to attend college.
