Global Fund for Women Helps Women in Serbia
San Francisco based Global Fund for Women has worked in partnership with women who are struggling to rebuild their lives in Serbia after recent conflicts. This nonprofit grant-making foundation raises funds for women-led organizations that promote economic independence, health, safety, education, and leadership of women and girls. Understanding the social, political, and economic conditions in which these women live is a critical component of their mission.
