INTERNATIONAL

The QCWA is affiliated with the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), an international organisation that works in partnership with its members, offering mutual support, friendship and practical help to women and communities around the world.

ACWW has over 460 member societies active in over 70 countries. With Consultative Status at the United Nations, ACWW gives women a voice at International level through its links with United Nations agencies.

ACWW also funds small scale local development projects which are requested by local women to suit their needs. All applications for funding are assessed by the ACWW Projects Committee and projects are monitored throughout their life to ensure success. As a result of this association, the QCWA provides financial and in-kind support to women and families across the world.
