Information + Transformation = Empowerment
Information + Transformation = Empowerment
Rural Women In Action, Inc (RWIA) is a community-based organization based in Winder, Georgia that serves the needs of Rural and marginalized communities in the South. Founded by a black woman with a team of black women, RWIA started with a vision to educate and empower the residents of rural areas in order to transform the minds of those individuals and their families. Utilizing strategies and tools focusing on lived experiences and stories of resilience, RWIA adopted the mantra:
‘Information + Transformation = Empowerment.’
Vision. Building safe, healthy rural communities by transforming minds and educating through workshops and lived experiences.
Mission. To provide education, training, and resources to enrich the lives an well-being of men, women, and their surrounding families impacted with HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

With the many issues that impact the rural communities, Rural Women In Action focuses on these four pillars:
HIV/AIDS & Hepatitis C

Rural Women In Action knows that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding we have been determined to make an impact. The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s fresh ideas and passion to the range of activities we are involved in. Through all our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
