Description
n March 2024, I started working as a project officer for Latin America at the Women’s World Day of Prayer (WDP). The office of the German Committee is located in Stein near Nuremberg.
The WDP is a global, ecumenical grassroots movement of Christian women. Its centrepiece is a church service in which the liturgy is prepared by women in a different country each year. It is celebrated worldwide on the first Friday in March. „Informed prayer – Prayerful action“.
Spiritual connection, commitment to social justice and global solidarity with women are an important part of the Women’s World Day of Prayer.
In Latin America, we work with around 20 organizations in six countries. Our common goal is to empower women and girls.
The project funds come from the collection of the World Day of Prayer and from donations.
