Women on a Mission (WOAM) is a not-for-profit organisation headquartered in Singapore that combines challenging, self-funded, expeditions to remote and majestic locations around the world with inspirational fundraising events, as a way to raise awareness and funds for women survivors of war and to support and empower women who have been subjected to violence and abuse. The group aims to reach out to women who are often left behind – those who struggle with poverty and violence, who are denied basic education and health care, and whose lives have been devastated by conflict and abuse. WOAM’s strategy is to organise and promote yearly campaigns and challenging expeditions to increase visibility and support for organisations that advance the position of women around the world. The organisation partners with existing established non-profit institutions that already have well run programmes and structures in place dedicated to serving the underprivileged with a particular focus on women's rights and issues. Ultimately, WOAM’s mission is to inspire more women to want to leave their comfort zones, their families and homes for a certain period of time, while pushing their limits in an effort to rally support for initiatives that change the world one woman at a time. http://www.womenmission.com
