Women At Work International helps commercial sex workers off the streets by training them to also become peer educators with WAWI, while others abandon prostitution and learn how to make and sale necklaces, envelops, candles and bracelets.
Women At Work International is the first organization to do a charity walk to support and help end fistula in Uganda. They also joined hands with Dr. Sherry Thomas and organized a team of US doctors to come to Uganda and provide free services to fistula victims.
