OUR MISSION
Women on a Mission (WOAM) is a non-profit organisation, headquartered in Singapore, which aims to raise awareness and funds for women survivors of war and to support and empower women who have been subjected to violence and abuse.
​
Our strategy is to organise and promote a yearly campaign and a challenging expedition - self-funded by each participant - to increase visibility, and to raise money for our chosen charities. We partner with existing well-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 issues.
Building on our success, our goal is to raise SGD 2 million by 2022. When women come together and are passionate about a cause, extraordinary things can happen!

OUR TEAM
We aren't getting paid to do this. Instead, we are just like you, ordinary people who want to do extraordinary things. We firmly believe we should do our part to help people in need, and as a result contribute to making this world a better place. In our hearts, we know we can make a difference, one person at a time.
Our teamates put a wealth of professional experience at the service of WOAM. They are happy to share their career and charitable achievements with corporate and non-profit partners through inspirational talks and workshops.
MEET OUR TEAMMATES
For every campaign, we are lucky to have the support of some amazing women. Some have been part of our expeditions and events since the very beginning and are an integral part of our success while others join us whenever their life commitments allow them to do so. All of them are united by their own personal drive to make a difference in the lives of other, less privileged women. We are immensely grateful to all these wonderful friends for their invaluable contribution to WOAM's achievements.
