WIC’S MISSION:

Women’s International Center [WIC] was founded in 1982 as a non-profit education and service foundation [501c3] with the mission to ‘acknowledge, honor, encourage and educate women’. Since its inception WIC has fulfilled its purpose in many ways. Beginning in 1983 the LIVING LEGACY AWARDS began to ACKNOWLEDGE, HONOR and ENCOURAGE WOMEN. For twenty-four years we have brought hundreds together to celebrate the accomplishments and positive and lasting contributions of women -- in so doing many now know, understand, appreciate, and hopefully incorporate the gifts women have given to improve the world. Likewise, we have gathered some of civilization’s great and generous women and men whose deeds have genuinely benefitted humanity. The list reads like a ‘Who’s Who of global innovators and humanitarian benefactors -- please review the complete list of Living Legacy Award Honorees listed in the program --amazing.

To further WIC’s worldwide outreach, our award-winning information and education web site www.wic.org is filled with women’s remarkable deeds, accomplishments, legacies and history -- including short biographies of more than 150 LLA recipients. As well, our Internet site directs the reader to hundreds of sources providing vital information about economic, medical, emotional, psychological and ‘Safe Houses’ for those needing professional assistance. We also provide direct Internet links to hundreds of other valuable organizations specifically geared to help and improve the lives of women.

WIC is deeply involved with the women in Africa and South America through our foreign assistance programs by providing educational and safety information and economic resources to refugees and displaced women. We work directly with national and local refugee organizations. We have been fortunate to assist scores of women adapt and adjust to living in the United States, to receive economic, medical, and personal safety help. WIC also has assisted many of these women in need to receive academic acceptance and gainful employment. In addition, we have directly assisted in preparing these individuals to improve their English and prepare to gain U.S. citizenship. We have provided thousand of dollars in charitable gifts to non-profit organizations offering assistance and/or safe houses for battered or homeless women and have proudly presented many thousands of dollars in Sisterships (scholarships) to scores of girls and women since 1983.

Women’s International Center’s motto is ‘Education through Communication.’

Certainly, we love and live what we do.
