FIRST Lady Sandra Granger and the wife of Prime Minister, Mrs Sita Nagamootoo, are special guests at this weekend’s “Know your Purpose” Conference held by the Women of Mission International (WOMI) Conferences in New York.Both Mrs Granger and Mrs Nagamootoo will deliver remarks at the conference this evening.
The WOMI’s goal is to encourage women to take ownership of the direction of their lives and plans to collaborate with other organisations with similar missions and goals to maximise efforts to help women of all ages from the Diaspora and beyond.
WOMI is open to women regardless of their incomes, race, creed, age or nationality. Their purpose is to envision a world where no woman is abused, poor, untrained or marginalised.
Their mission is “To make a difference in the lives of women through education, counselling, support services, scholarships, mentorship and empowerment forums.”
By the influence of the First Lady and Mrs Nagamootoo, WOMI hopes that they will be able to reach a wider cross- section of women and be able to provide assistance and knowledge.
