Who we are

Making the invisible visible, one community at a time

The Invisible Women Inclusion Network (I-WIN) is an organization working in South Sudan that links protection, livelihoods, the environment and peace. We work hand in hand with local authorities, traditional leaders, schools, women's groups and youth to design solutions communities can own.

Community-led

Local authorities, traditional leaders, schools and women’s groups help shape and run each project, so results belong to the community.
Protection-sensitive

We design activities around the risks women and girls actually face, from fuelwood collection to exclusion from decisions.
Inclusive by design

Women, youth, returnees, displaced people, older persons and people with disabilities are deliberately brought to the table.
