I would love to see on this page a list of projects currently supported by WOV chapters, and also perhaps other projects that need support…? : ) Maybe even hints on choosing a project, etc.?
Hi Lisa! That is exactly what we are working on right now. On this page we will list the current WOV projects available for support, a list of chapters and their selected projects and annual reports for selected chapters describing the impact of their giving. I love your idea about also including hints on choosing a project, too! Thanks!! Blessings, Mary
Very exciting! I can’t wait! : )
If a project is listed as “open for funding” but currently has a chapter funding it, does this mean that the project has room for funding from more than one chapter? : ) Not quite sure how that works…? Thanks!
Lisa, you are exactly right. We love to have more than one chapter funding projects. Thanks! Mary
I need to know that is it possible to get a project funded if submitted to WOV. I would appreciate if somebody can guide me in this regard.
Thank you for your inquiry about Women of Vision projects. WOV chooses projects from World Vision’s work around the world.

World Vision is in India: http://www.worldvision.in/. However, Women of Vision is not in India yet!
