Women's Institutes

Women's Institutes (WIs) are community-based organizations that provide a platform for women to meet, learn, and share skills on topics like cooking, gardening, health, and current issues. Originating in the early 20th century, they aim to promote education, local development, and social connection among women. WIs often engage in charitable work, cultural activities, and advocacy, supporting both personal growth and community improvement. They are inclusive groups that encourage women's active participation and empowerment, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
