ABOUT US
The Worthy Woman Initiative, Inc. [TWWI, Inc.] is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to Georgia women who are transitioning out of incarceration. We understand the numerous challenges that women face upon release, including navigating complex systems, securing stable housing and employment, and addressing mental health and wellness needs.
Our goal is to empower these women to successfully reintegrate into society and lead fulfilling lives. Through a range of wrap-around services, including case management, job training, education, and legal assistance, we strive to address the unique needs of each individual and provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. We are committed to working in partnership with other organizations and service providers in the community to ensure that our clients have access to the full range of support they need.
“The WOMANifesto”
We believe in every woman’s right to thrive, no matter their age, life stage, or circumstance.
We offer a seat at our table to any woman with a desire to see a significant change in her life.
We understand that long-held, self-destructive habits may be the result of trauma but can be overcome with a commitment to healing practices.
We believe in the power of every woman to rise in resilience.
We build each other up, not tear each other down.
We take the work of getting and maintaining mental, emotional, and spiritual health - seriously.
We believe that pursuing our life’s purpose is a worthy endeavor.
We believe in passing on the knowledge we gain and lifting others.
We believe in whole-hearted living - not just “doing.”
We believe in our own power to change our lives.
