WISO - Help advocate for the rights of girls and women.

What is WISO?

WISO stands for Women’s Interfaith Support Organization. It is a non-profit group whose aim is to promote social justice especially for women who live in abusive situations and social distress. We help women who live with culturally legitimate forms of abuse such as domestic violence, rape, sexual trafficking, female genital cutting, HIV/AIDS, and other forms of child or elderly molestations.

We network with religious and other local organizations   to listen, educate, support  and identify  resources to support those in need. While the organization is currently self- funded, we also seek grants and donations to help facilitate our mission and goals. WISO was founded by Dr. Mary N. Wangila, a Professor of Religious Studies at East Carolina University whose passion is to promote health and human rights of girls, women and those in abusive situation. No one deserves to be abused. The rights of all must be protected. If you care to join us, contact us at wiso2011@gmail.com or to donate to our activities.
