The Global Connections for Women Foundation (GC4W) is a non-profit organization that believes in all women and their right to create new opportunities for themselves and their communities. GC4W was created in response to the 3rd Goal of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as documented by the United Nations and in reaction to the collective outcry of women in underserved communities around the world. The 3rd goal of the MDGs aims to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women, which is at the core of all that GC4W strives to do and aims to become. In doing so, GC4W’s mission is to create a path to success for women in underserved communities around the world who seek it, regardless of their background, nationality or societal status.
