MWI is a member of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada and the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW).

ACWW has 420 member societies in 73 countries around the world and gives voice to nine million rural and non-rural women.

MWI members contribute to the ACWW/MWI project either by individual donation sent to the Provincial Office or through contribution to their local institute in the form of a small donation made each time a member attends a local MWI meeting. These funds are submitted annually to the Provincial Office.

At this time we contribute to a central fund that identifies successful initiatives for women in the areas of health, education and economic independence.

These proven initiatives are now chosen and supported by ACWW staff.

ACWW’s first new Rural Women in Action project announced

Planting the Seeds of Peace is a 12-month program designed to develop and implement a practical training course for Ukrainian refugee children centered around the ecological growing of plans and vegetables.

The project will be implemented in Bucharest, Romania at a school hosting 200 Ukrainian children.
