WUCWO/ UMOFC
World Union Catholic Women Organizations/ Union Mondial Organisations Féminines Catholiques

WUCWO gets together 90 organizations of Catholic women from all continents – the majority from Africa. In its history, it  has had, as primary task, to favour the presence, the participation and co responsibility of Catholic women both in the society and in the Church, through an  attitude of dialogue and cooperation with other associations and realities.
During its last general assembly held in Arlington (USA) last June, WUCWO chose as priorities for the following four-year period

    Culture of peace
     Education
     Eradication of poverty
 
WUCWO has joined the FAO campaign “International Alliance Against Hunger”   and many of its member organizations  are committed in the different continents in projects, campaigns  and  training activities to eradicate one of the causes of poverty in the developing countries.
