Dear WWSF Members and Friends,

award*, honouring creative and courageous women and women's organisations
working to improve the quality of life in rural communities around the
world.

Since inception of the prize program in 1994, *331* Laureates have been
honoured for their creativity with a cash donation of US$ 500 each and US$
3000 for established organizations in Africa. All Laureates and their
profiles are published on our web site *http://www.woman.ch/home.php* <*

to all the prize winners which has recently been exhibited at the United
Nations in Geneva during a Human Rights Council session*.

Given your experience, interest and perspective with regard to issues of
development, human rights, micro-credit, peace building and empowerment of
women, we greatly appreciate your participation and thank you in advance for
sending us your candidates. 15 to 20 prize winners will again be selected in
2008 and several of them will be invited to Geneva to personally present
their work at an award ceremony on 15 October – World Day for rural women,
which has been declared last November an official United Nations Resolution
Day.
