Our Mission: The mission of SOW is to support in the reduction of morbidity, mortality, poverty and ignorance among women and children through education, provision of self-supporting skills and liaising with government and non-governmental organizations in the education about the HIV/AIDS pandemic. SOW commenced business when three members made up of Mrs. Patricia Nyamful, Mrs. Margaret Obirikorang and Wilhelmina Dzandu the co – founders met in July 2001 to plan its course of action. It was the desire if these founders to pool their mental and physical resources and team up with like –mended people to set in motion series of interventions aimed at improving the living standards of the Ghanaian women living in absolute poverty and plagued with preventable diseases in rural areas.
