BEQUESTS

A bequest to Women's World Banking is a lasting means of supporting microfinance services that enable poor entrepreneurs to lift themselves out of poverty. Bequests to WWB in the United States are made through Friends of WWB/USA, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. Click here for more information about Friends of WWB/USA, Inc.
