WHAT IT TAKES
2011 AUDIT REPORT
ince 1993, Women for Women International (WfWI)
has worked to provide women in countries affected
by war with the resources to move from crisis and
poverty into stability and self-sufficiency. WfWI
delivers these resources through a tiered, yearlong program
that begins with identifying those communities that are
most socially marginalized and working with women to
reach their full potential. Participants learn about their
legal rights and receive life-skills training such as health
awareness, numeracy, budgeting and saving, decisionmaking, negotiation, and civic participation.
The women also learn business and vocational skills, and
gain access to income-generating activities where they
can apply those skills and begin moving towards economic
stability. Along with supporting more than 370,000 women
in war-ravaged nations to build lives of dignity, stability,
and self-determination, WfWI uses its voice to call global
attention to the unique role that women play in advancing
peace throughout society. WfWI works in Afghanistan,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Sudan.

TO STRENGTH
A MESSAGE FROM THE
CHAIR OF THE BOARD
Women for Women International posted
solid operational results for 2011, and
finished the year strongly positioned to
meet our challenges and to seize the many
opportunities that lie before us.
I am proud to report that Women for Women
International (WfWI) has made considerable
efforts to use resources more efficiently. In
2011, we decreased the percentage of the
budget allocated to administration from
an already-lean 14 percent down to just 11
percent. Less money for administration means
more money directly to the programs. And
I am also very pleased to report that WfWI
increased its institutional and government
funding by more than 30 percent. This vote
of confidence is a sure sign that policymakers
are learning what our grassroots supporters
have known for years: stronger women mean
stronger, more stable societies.
WfWI’s chief accomplishment of 2011 was
successfully managing its first transition at the
top. When Zainab Salbi, who had led WfWI
since founding the organization 20 years ago,
stepped down as CEO in June 2011, the board
immediately went to work on the enormous
task of finding Zainab’s successor. I believe it
is a testimony to the work that everyone – the
board, the staff, all our generous supporters,
and Zainab herself most of all – has been
doing for many years that Women for Women
International was able to attract someone of
Afshan Khan’s caliber. The rest of the board
and I were delighted to welcome Afshan on
board officially in mid-2012, and are looking
forward to supporting her as she guides this
institution into its next phase.
One of the things we have already learned
from Afshan is how favorably operating
models like WfWI’s – hands-on, grassroots,
deeply practical – are viewed within the elite
2
policymaking circles in which she moved
during her 20-year career with the United
Nations. That world increasingly understands
that technocratic, top-down approaches
are outdated. Hands-on institutions like
ours are the real change agents. We are
looking forward to drawing on Afshan’s
wisdom to forge the kinds of public/private
partnerships that can increase Wf WI’s
impact even more – while always fostering
the intimate connections between sponsors
and participant sisters that gave Women for
Women International its name and made
us strong.
As Afshan settles in and we continue to
build the global team, I would like to thank
the immediate past chair, Mary Zients, the
rest of the board, and the entire staff for all
they have done to keep Women for Women
International strong and focused during the
most important transition in our history.
Women for Women International is moving
from strength to strength, capitalizing on
a history of impressive achievements and
goodwill to build an institution that can serve
ever-more women with ever-more powerful,
life-changing outreach.
I hope you are as proud as I am of all we have
done together – and as excited about all the
adventures still to come.
On behalf of the rest of the board, the staff,
and the hundreds of thousands of women we
serve, thank you for all your support.
Thank you,
Lucy

A MESSAGE FROM
OUR PRESIDENT
AND CEO
“
Women
for Women
International
is moving
from strength
to strength,
capitalizing
on a history
of impressive
achievements
and goodwill
to build an
institution that
can serve evermore women
with ever-more
powerful,
life-changing
outreach.
”
“
Most inspiring
of all has been
the chance to
witness the
power of the
bonds between
women that
define this
organization.
”
I knew when I joined Women for Women
International (WfWI) in June 2012 that my
first priority was to meet the women with
whom we work. My prior career with the
United Nations had already taken me all
over the world for more than 20 years. With
UNICEF, I had the privilege of helping people
rebuild lives upended by natural disasters,
epidemics, or armed conflict. But every
organization has its own character and every
person has their own narrative. I wanted to
hear directly from the women WfWI serves
and the staff who make it happen.
Afghanistan was my first stop, and there I
had an interesting conversation early on with
Country Director, Sweeta Noori. Sweeta and
I had been talking about the importance of
engaging Afghan men in Women for Women
International’s work, and I asked Sweeta, “So
how do you even start that conversation?”
Sweeta responded, “We ask for their advice.
We do not say ‘Come watch us and learn.’
We say, ‘Here is what we are trying to do,
please tell us what you think.’ Before we can
accomplish anything, we have to show that
we respect their position in the community.’”
When you pursue change that way, when
you are willing to meet people where they
are – instead of telling them where you think
they ought to be, or where you wish they were
– incredible things can happen. Hundreds of
mullahs (religious leaders) have been invited
to advise Women for Women International in
Afghanistan. We have learned from them –
and they have a better understanding from
us of women’s rights, seeing firsthand the
immense potential women possess when
accorded their full dignity as citizens. Men
also understand it at the personal level.
What the Men’s Leadership Program does
is change the dynamics between men and
women to create an environment where
shared decision-making becomes part of life.
for all those who have built this organization.
Founder Zainab Salbi took her personal
experiences of surviving war and used
them to build a global force for women’s
empowerment. The welcome that Zainab
extended to me could not have been warmer
or more gracious. The same has been true
of the board of directors, whose leadership
has helped put WfWI on sound footing,
and the staff, whose dedication, talent, and
humor make WfWI a joyful place as well as
a successful one.
Most inspiring of all has been the chance
to witness the power of the bonds between
women that define this organization. On
my second day in Afghanistan, I met with a
group of women and asked them what they
appreciated most about the program. One
woman told me, “I was able to leave my house
twice a week and talk with other women like
me.” As another put it, “Now I finally know
my neighbor.”
I am profoundly grateful to all the men and
women I met, and from each of them I learned
what aspects of the program worked well and
what the organization could do differently
to improve its impact.
What struck me most though was the fierce
determination of women to create and build
a better life for themselves, their children
and communities. I am very proud to be
a member of the network of Women for
Women International supporters.
Warmly,
Afshan
Afshan Khan
President and CEO
The sense of optimism I feel travelling
throughout the Women for Women
International network renews my gratitude

Women for Women International exists to help
the women of war-ravaged countries build
stable, dignified lives for themselves, their
families, and their community. Women bear the
heaviest burdens of war. They are responsible
not only for sustaining life during wartime but for
rebuilding afterwards – often as widows trying
to earn income to support their families. And in
many of the communities where WfWI works,
from the Balkans to Africa, the systematic use
of rape as a weapon of war creates emotional
devastation in women survivors that lasts long
after physical injuries heal.

The community impact shows lasting social

In the countries where Women for Women
International works, war leaves women all the
more vulnerable, even years after the fighting has
stopped. In country after country – for example,
Rwanda, where 800,000 people were killed in a
matter of weeks – the world has seen how quickly
violence and conflict can destroy lives, and leave
a legacy of death and destruction for an entire
country. And we have also seen that while a
society can be destroyed virtually overnight,
the work to rebuild takes decades.
Women for Women International’s program
addresses the needs of women in war-torn
countries in a holistic way. We provide emotional
support, encouraging women to set aside
the silencing effect of trauma and share their
experiences with one another. We educate them
about their legal rights. We provide life-skills
training in health and hygiene, basic numeracy,
and household budgeting. The life-skills program
places great emphasis on the importance of
savings, both to protect against the unknown and
as a means to achieve specific goals: repairing
the house, investing in business, and ensuring
children’s education. As each woman advances
through the program, she chooses an incomegenerating activity that suits her talents and
interests, and WfWI teaches her the business
and vocational skills she needs to succeed in her
chosen field. Finally, WfWI provides access to the
income-generating activities where she can apply
what she has learned and actually start earning
money and building long-term economic stability.

HOMESCHOOLING
IRAQ
One of the silent casualties that war inflicts on
normal life is to children’s education. In Iraq,
Women for Women International participants
are providing a vital means for children to
continue learning despite ongoing violence
and displacement.
Hundreds of WfWI-Iraq participants have
completed intensive teacher training to
prepare them to hold classes in their own
homes. Training is highly participatory and
experiential, and covers core curriculum,
lesson plan preparation, childhood
development and different learning styles,
teaching techniques, classroom discipline
and management, and insights into child
psychology, with an emphasis on helping
troubled children.
WfWI-Iraq participants are also trained how
to teach in a multi-grade classroom, since the
homeschools must serve children of different
ages. Despite the greater challenges of the
homeschool setting (and the volatile security
conditions that make it necessary), the WfWI
WHAT
WE DO
WOMEN AT WORK
Women for Women International takes a practical, community-based
approach to its work of helping women recover from war and thrive
even in countries living with the legacy of conflict. We understand
that women need more than life skills and vocational training,
important as those things are. They also need ways they can actually
apply what they have learned and start earning income. WfWI’s
income-generating initiatives help provide a pathway through
that “last mile” each woman must travel from vulnerability and
dependence towards confidence and economic empowerment.
The businesses WfWI participants undertake vary based on their
own circumstances (family responsibilities, interests and talents,
physical strength) and on what the market demands. So program
participants engage in everything from farming to handicrafts,
from traditionally female activities such as food preparation to
brickmaking and construction.

THESE WOMEN ARE
NOW ESTEEMED
PROFESSIONALS WITH
A SKILL THAT HELPS
THEM SUPPORT THEIR
OWN FAMILIES AND
STRENGTHEN THEIR
NATION’S FUTURE.
BEEKEEPING
KOSOVO
In a tiny country where nearly 60 percent
of women are unemployed, WfWI-Kosovo
participants are earning an estimated
average income in excess of $80 per month
– through beekeeping. This innovative
program provides intensive training in
keeping the bees healthy, handling them
safely, collecting the honey, and marketing,
distributing, and selling the product. With its
usual attention to program integration, WfWI
also trains its participants in the carpentry
program to build the frames that house the
beekeeping hives.
By the end of 2011, one of the two beekeeping
programs, the Bleta e Tices Association, had
increased its number of beehives from 36 to
52. The other, Okarina e Runikut, jumped
from 85 to 127. All told, the beekeeping
operation produced an average of 10.4
kilograms of honey per member in 2011, and
60 percent of it sold (with the rest retained
for household consumption).
participants are committed to excellence
and receive intensive training to understand
the characteristics of an effective teacher.
WfWI-Iraq graduates who have completed
the training report teaching between 4 and
12 children in their homeschools, and earning
between $150 and $250 a month, a viable
wage in that market. In addition to using
the professional preparation and materials
WfWI-Iraq provided, the women report
using the bookkeeping skills acquired during
life-skills training in order to keep track of
income and expenses. Many had also honed
their Internet skills to stay up-to-date about
teaching methods.
All graduates expressed the special joy
of enabling a struggling child to bring
home good grades or qualify for national
exams. These women are now esteemed
professionals with a skill that helps them
support their own families and strengthen
their nation’s future.
During the second half of 2011, the project
training activities focused intensively on
technical subjects of honey harvesting,
post-harvest honey processing, use of
medication to prevent parasites and keep
the bee families healthy, and preparation
and closing of beehives for the winter
hibernation. These efforts paid off. WfWI
technical experts report that not only has
production increased, the quality of the
honey has improved significantly. The
women’s business skills have kept pace
with their technical skills, and they are able
to write business plans, apply for loans,
and negotiate confidently with purchasers
and suppliers. And thanks to the power of
building networks and alliances, the two
beekeeping associations are now linked
with the relevant government ministries
(agriculture, forestry, rural development,
trade, and industry) that provide additional
capacity training and market outlets.

WHERE WE WORK
OUR GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
Women for Women International works with socially excluded women
in eight countries where war and conflict have devastated lives and
communities. Each woman we serve has her own story–some of
loved ones murdered, and others of physical and emotional
trauma. Most have endured a struggle for survival.
9
AFGHANISTAN
Afghan women fear that the gains of the past decade could
be erased overnight if the Taliban return to power. Women’s
economic and social rights have taken a back seat as political
power brokers seek stability in Afghanistan.
The NATO Summit held in the spring of 2011 to discuss post-2014 Afghanistan made no mention of the
progress Afghan women have made during the past 10 years, and included no explicit commitment
to enforcing the Afghan Constitution’s guarantee of women’s equality.
2002
Program Inception
Women for Women International continues to provide Afghan women with access to resources to
prepare for whatever the future may hold and to meet their present challenges – already considerable,
in a country where more than 87% of women have experienced abuse or forced marriage (OXFAM,
2011) and 90% of rural women are illiterate (UNESCO). By the end of September 2011, the number of
women graduates who were participating in community activities increased to 79%. WfWI-Afghanistan
graduates post similar double-digit gains in terms of income and rates of savings. And while still in the
pilot stage, the Men’s Leadership Program has had success in changing for the better the way men,
including religious leaders, regard women’s rights.
Along with rights awareness classes and emotional support, Women for Women International’s program
in Afghanistan includes job-skills training in such courses as:
•
•
•
GEM-CUTTING: Taking advantage of Afghanistan’s rich natural resources and giving women a
skill to help them earn an income by cutting gems for jewelry.
POULTRY: Participants are trained in the care and feeding of the birds and in selling fresh eggs
to local markets.
VEGETABLE GREENHOUSES: Provide women with access to a source of fresh food as well as
produce to sell at local market.
Other vocational tracks include Goat keeping, Beekeeping, and Rug weaving.

BOSNIA AND
HERZEGOVINA
For Women for Women International, Bosnia and Herzegovina
was where it all began. Founders Zainab Salbi and Amjad
Atallah were as horrified as the rest of the world upon hearing
the early 1990s reports of the rape camps and the other
atrocities committed against women during the Balkan Wars.
But unlike so many others, our founders were moved to action, raising small donations among friends
and churches and travelling to the Balkans personally to launch Women for Women International.
Twenty years later, the program launched in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been proven effective and
has been adapted to other conflict-affected countries.

THE DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
Basic sanitation and clean drinking water are scarce in the
DRC, especially in rural areas. In addition to poor physical
health standards, WfWI program participants in the DRC
experience tremendous psychological stress due to physical
violence and the ongoing conflict.
During WfWI’s 12-month program, women are trained in areas of physical and mental well-being.
They are placed in groups that become a support network while they go through the intensive and
life-changing experience. Then they choose from twelve income-generating tracks:

Nine years after the fall of the Iraqi dictatorship, chaos has

displacement and the constant threat of harm are all they
have ever known.
Many struggle to meet basic needs. Women for Women International provides women with opportunities
for self-sufficiency through rights awareness classes and vocational training in:

KOSOVO
Although Kosovars are proud of their recent independent
status, major challenges remain in a country where average
annual income is among the very lowest in Europe and
unemployment among the highest – nearly 60 percent among
women (UNDP 2012).
Women for Women International in Kosovo works to enhance the status of women in the family, to
make their needs more visible and more of a priority. As part of this effort, WfWI-Kosovo works to
release women from the fear and shame they feel about their wartime experiences. Kosovo was the
site of some of the most savage violence against women, but to date only a small number of rape
victims have sought the help they need.
As the women heal, they begin to see themselves as capable citizens and economic actors. Among
the vocational tracks:

NIGERIA
Fostering women’s economic independence is of the highest
importance, and one of the most successful WfWI incomegenerating projects has been the new Poultry Marketing
Initiative.
Poultry is a preferred food in Nigeria, and demand far outstrips supply – a great opening for the WfWI
participants. WfWI-Nigeria women have demonstrated a high level of business responsibility, forming
cooperatives to complete construction of the processing facilities, stepping up to assume leadership
roles, and forging market partnerships with local grocers, hotels, and restaurants.
Other tracks include pig-raising and trading.

RWANDA
Nearly 20 years after a genocide that stunned the world,
Rwanda is at peace and women are leading the way. They
hold almost 60 percent of the seats in parliament and head
one-third of the households.
Most of those female-headed households, however, are seriously impoverished, making WfWI’s
income-generating support critical. An example of a successful partnership in Rwanda is with Gahaya
Links, a broker of export-quality traditional baskets, home décor, and jewelry, which currently employs
more than 200 graduates of the WfWI-Rwanda program. Working an average of four hours a day,
these women earn a daily average of $1.00 to $1.67 – compared to an average of just $0.48 prior to
program enrollment.
Along with the Gahaya Links partnership, other vocational tracks include:

SOUTH SUDAN
July 2011 brought official independence to South Sudan
– but not the peace-dividends many had hoped for. For
women, the odds of dying in childbirth are greater than
the odds of learning to read or write.
Most Women for Women International participants in South Sudan choose upon graduation to earn
income by running their own small business, often tied to agriculture (selling eggs, milk, or produce).

WHY IT MATTERS
For 20 years, Women for Women International has been helping women and
building networks to support them. Women for Women International is
helping to build a more just and peaceful world.
When 10% more girls stay in school, a nation’s GDP increases
on average by 3%(1). And nations where women hold at least
30% of the seats in the political bodies are more egalitarian,
democratic, and stable.(2).
IN 2011, WOMEN FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL
REACHED MORE WOMEN WITH MORE AND

WHO MAKES
IT HAPPEN
PORTRAIT OF SISTERHOOD
More than 80,000 people have chosen to become sponsors and sisters
since Women for Women International was founded. Together, they
have exchanged more than 730,000 letters, sharing practical and moral
support, getting to know each other, finding common ground. Here
is one of their stories.

PORTRAITS
OF SISTERHOOD
CHRIS RUD
VICTORIA, MINNESOTA
Chris Rud figured out early that she was
not cut out to be a full-time stay-at-home
mother. Married at 19, Chris had two children
by the time she was 23. Now 62, she says she
remembers clearly having “the talk” forty
years ago with her husband, whom she still
describes as the love of her life. “Stan came
home from work one evening and I said ‘I
have got to get out of this house a little or
else one of us could end up dead!’” Chris
recalls saying half-jokingly to him.
What started out as a bid for sanity became
a serious career and a lifelong passion for
women’s economic empowerment. Chris
went back to school, earning a two-year
degree, and then found a job. A few years
later, she went back to school again for a
bachelor’s, and then for a master’s from
Pepperdine University.
Her chosen career was the then-nascent
field of human resources. From her own
experience, she knew how little support –
practical or moral – was available to women
who wanted or needed to work outside
the home. Chris says her own husband
supported her ambitions completely, not only
providing the necessary financial resources
but stepping up his own efforts to keep the
household running smoothly. But in those
days in the 1970s, she also faced stigma and
judgment, including from her own mother.
And she was struck by the countless subtle
ways the workplace was culturally designed
to recognize and reward men.
These early experiences set Chris on a
lifelong path of research and advocacy for
women’s issues, a path she had already long
been travelling when she and Stan tuned into
the television show 60 Minutes a few years
ago. They saw a segment on Women for
Women International, and after doing a little
online research, Chris decided to become
a sponsor. “I appreciated the way Women
for Women International stresses incomegenerating as part of empowerment,” Chris
32
JOSEPHINA
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF
THE CONGO
says. “Whether a woman is working for money
or not at any given moment, self-sufficiency
means knowing that you can take care of
yourself.” Chris remembers clearly the day
that she knew that she could support herself
and her daughters on her own. It was a
defining moment in her life.
Certainly that is a principle that Chris’s
Congolese “sister,” Josephina Twisenge
Nyakamwe, takes very much to heart. (See
related story.) Thanks to Chris’s sponsorship,
Josephina was able to expand her farming
activities beyond the subsistence level,
increasing the size of her goat herd and
purchasing an additional tract of land on
which she grows cash crops. Josephina also
diversified into manufacturing a form of fuel
briquettes through a program sponsored by
the Congolese government. The briquettes
provide an additional source of income for
Josephina and a more environmentally
conscious fuel source for her community
than the typical charcoal or firewood.
In the meantime, Chris is hard at work on a
book project, interviewing corporate board
members and “C-suite” (chief executive,
operating, and financial officers) executives
about the experiences of women on the top
team or in the boardroom. The book argues
that some of the differences between the
ways men experience the workplace and
the ways women do stem from innate
gender differences. The challenge is for
the workplace culture to become gender
neutral. “It’s not about doing women some
big favor,” Chris stresses, “and it’s not as if
men’s ways are right and women’s are wrong,
or vice versa. But the differences between
men and women are real, and until now, it’s
been up to women executives to fit into the
business culture, men’s culture. The research
proves that we are past the point where that
will work anymore.”
A LETTER
OF HOPE
My dearest friend Rud,
Hello. I am Josephina. I am 31. I am a cultivator
and seller of beans. My husband’s name is
Sengiyunva Masumbuko. He is 38 and he is a
cultivator. I have 7 children.
1. Muhire Neema: She is 13. She is a pupil.
2. Samson: He is 10. He is a pupil.
3. Salama: He is 8. He is a pupil.
4. Mariamu: He is 6. He is a pupil.
5. Nikuze (A girl): She is 4. She hasn’t started
studying.
6. Amani (A boy): He is 3.
7. Rahati (A girl): She is 1.5.
I thank you for the help that you sent me. It
helped me to sell beans and have my fields
cultivated.
Sincerely Yours,
Like everyone in the Rubare area of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC,
Josephina Nyakamwe and her husband,
Sengiyunva Masumbuko, have been affected
by the recurring conflict that has plagued
the region. The territory has long been a
stronghold for paramilitary forces whose
presence has led to heightened instability
for civilians. Extortion, harassment, and
looting have been chronic dangers resulting in
widespread internal displacement of the local
population. When a fragile peace first came
to Rubare about two years ago, Josephina
wasted no time. She enrolled in Women for
Women International’s (WfWI) program to
improve her agricultural skills and increase
her family’s economic stability.
Josephina eagerly followed all the life-skill
topics and was especially motivated by the
sessions about household finance, in which
women are encouraged to earn income and
be productive. With support from her WfWI
sponsorship funding from her “sister,” Chris
Rud, Josephina bought a goat in May 2010.
Today she has expanded her herd to five goats
(three female, two male), all of which are healthy
and reproducing.
While enrolled in the WfWI program, Josephina
also learned about another program offered by
the ICCN (the Congolese Wildlife Authority)
which was training women to manufacture
fuel briquettes. The briquettes provide a
more environmentally conscious alternative
to charcoal and firewood, the two fuel sources
that are most widely used but which produce
harmful air pollution and deforestation.
As soon as she heard about the ICCN
opportunity, Josephina seized that as well.
After going through her ICCN training,
Josephina received a briquette-making
machine and was designated as one of the
official briquette suppliers for her locality. So
far, she has delivered more than 75 sacks of
the briquettes. At $5 per sack, she has already
earned $375, a considerable sum in the DRC
where average annual income is $210.
After graduating WfWI’s program, Josephina
decided that she should have a farm of her
own. She purchased a 1,750 sq meter tract
on which she cultivates cassava, maize, and a
type of local bean known as kabulangeti. The
proceeds from her farming operation increase
her income by more than $290.
Thank s to the skills and confidence
she acquired with Women for Women
International, Josephina has created a much
more economically stable and hopeful future
for herself and her family. Her school-age
children are all enrolled, and she continues
to expand her businesses, recently becoming
one of the briquette suppliers for two ICCNsponsored bread-baking operations. She is
proud to be part of a Congolese initiative to
reduce tree-cutting in the environmentally
sensitive Virunga Park and to be generating
needed income for her family at the same time.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TO THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF
WOMEN FOR WOMEN
INTERNATIONAL AND
AFFILIATES
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated statement of financial position
of Women for Women International and
Affiliates (collectively referred to as Women
for Women) as of December 31, 2011, and the
related consolidated statement of activities,
functional expenses and cash flows for
the year then ended. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility
of Women for Women’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements
based on our audit. The prior year
summarized comparative information has
been derived from Women for Women’s 2010
consolidated financial statements and in our
report dated June 15, 2011, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of Women for Women’s
internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of
Women for Women as of December 31, 2011,
and the changes in its net assets and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose
of forming an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental consolidating statements
of financial position and activities are
presented for the purpose of additional
analysis of the consolidated financial
statements rather than to present the
financial position and changes in net assets
of the individual entities. Such information
is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly
to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the consolidated
financial statements. The consolidating
information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the consolidated financial statements
and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the
consolidated financial statements or to
the consolidated financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures
in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the consolidating
information is fairly presented in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.
