Darfur Women Network - DWN
The Darfur Women Network (DWN) was founded in November, 2007 by Darfuri native Mastora Bakhiet, who now serves as President and CEO of DWN's Board of Directors. The DWN is led by people from Darfur for the first time in the history of the organization. DWN believes that the expertise and support of Darfuris and their sincere friends are foundation for the DWN to grow and effectively achieve its mission.
Our mission is to raise public awareness, provide educational outlets, use specialized programming, assist and encourage refugee women, girls and families displaced by the Darfur conflict so they may re-establish personal empowerment and flourishing communities in the face of adversity. Darfur Womens Network, Inc. works with both refugees in Chad and those who have immigrated to the United States.
