About Us

Our Program

Women Supporting Women is a non profit organization formed by its Founder & CEO Megan E. Lewis of Mobile, Alabama. There are several programs within this organization that strings for women and girls only. Through our program, women will find inspiration and strength to transform their lives into that worth sharing and talking about. Over the course of a year, women will come together in our Google Hangouts to learn critical skills and access new resources from jobs to credit repair and even starting their own business. With a curriculum that meets them where they are, women will begin their journey to achieve these four outcomes:

Earn and save money – Our Women learn basic business skills and a vocational skill with earning power in their local markets. They begin to save and receive support to establish cooperatives after graduation as well as support for those who are in school.

Develop health and well-being – Our Women will learn how to manage their health, including reproductive health and stress management. They will also learn about the importance of good hygiene and nutrition for their families.

Influence decisions in their homes and communities – Our Women will learn their fundamental rights and those recognized in their countries, and are encouraged to educate other women all over the world and not just here in the United States. They will learn the importance of civic participation, voting, and negotiation as well.

Connect to networks for support and advocacy – Our Women will  build support networks. They will share ideas and resources, invest in business together, and help each other find solutions to common challenges.

Sustainable Change

Beyond WSW, women will become catalysts for progress and change, creating ripple effects in their families and their communities. The overwhelming majority will be investing their time in growing their small businesses and in their children future.
