About us
The International Organization for Women and Development, Inc (IOWD) is a non-profit charity, registered as a charitable organization under section 501c(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Service code, dedicated to providing under served women and children in low-income countries with free specialized surgery and care. Our multidisciplinary volunteers commit time to travel at their own expense so that our patients and their families may gain access to specialized surgical services that are not readily available or affordable. Because we are deeply committed to advancing the global health agenda, we work closely with our governmental and non-governmental partners to ensure our programs are well integrated within local health systems so that our contributions are sustainable. Mission Statement - Our goal is to partner with Rwandan maternal and child health experts in establishing a comprehensive, contextually appropriate model for the delivery of quality women and children's health care within the existing health system. 1. To provide free treatment and care to women and girls suffering from obstetric fistula, gynecologic and pelvic floor disorders while upholding the highest ethical standards. 2. To provide free treatment and care for children with genitourinary disorders. 3. To strengthen Rwandan human resources for health by training local surgeons, nurses and other allied health workers in the treatment and post-operative care of surgical patients. 4. To promote community outreach initiatives aimed at raising awareness about women and children’s health.
