WIN URI was founded at the URI Global Council Meeting in May 2006. One of our CC's first service projects was to donate funds to help support services coordinated by two of our members, Joyce Ng'oma and Shakun Vaswani. Joyce is leading a series of visitations to women prisoners of different faiths in Malawi, to assist the women with hygiene, mental health and education. This project inspired our members to agree to research the situation of women prisoners in our own countries, with a view to identifying interfaith service opportunities.
