Every month, 162 million women and girls across West and Central Africa face a shared but deeply personal challenge - menstruation. Yet, for too many, this natural process becomes a daily struggle, overshadowed by challenging environments and stigmatization. In the shadows of unsupportive social norms and limitations on their daily lives, these brave individuals often find their confidence and self-esteem eroded. They deserve better.

Drowning is a silent danger that claims far too many lives, and it stems from various causes. Economic activities like fishing, a lack of parental supervision, children's curiosity, and the risk of flooding all play a role in this alarming statistic. We believe in empowering our children to beat these odds by turning the tide and making water a place of safety and joy for every child.

The Women’s Wellness Initiative (WWI) is a collaborative effort that empowers chapters to address health issues impacting women, particularly women of color.

WWI programs can be conducted at any time during the sorority year.
