Congratulations to this year's the Nobel Peace prize winners—both of them call attention to the violence against women.

Women for Women International has a program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is well acquainted with Denis Mukegwe's years of work as a gynecologist— repairing women's bodies and providing a safe haven for then to heal at his clinic. A true hero!

The best part about sponsoring a woman through WfWI is knowing that you have a personal connection and make a difference in one woman's life. This year my sister is Nanban, a 30 year old woman, with two children and a husband that is a farmer living in Angwan Madaki in Nigeria. I just received this letter.(translated here)

I like knowing that my $35 per month goes to this individual rather than part of a general fund for a non profit. WfWI also sends you information about the political and socio-economic conditions of your "sister's" country.

I have heard of women that carry their sponsor's letter with them and proudly show it to others—impressed that someone on the other side of the world cards about them. This is why I support Women for Women International.
