Membership

“As once said by Thomas Paine, WIF too believes that it is not in numbers but in unity that our strength lies”. We invite women across the glove to join hands with us to learn the art of being a self-leader and then to continue on a leadership journey that will not only empower the self but communities at large. Join to learn, experience, expose and to give back.
