Women for Women was founded by Zainab Salbi in 1993 to support women in war torn countries. This currently includes Bosnia, Rwanda, Iraq, just to name a few. Zainab had just graduated from college when she founded it and two years later, she was honored by the Clintons. She has taken the organization very far, expanding it interationally. She's been on Oprah numerous times, been on the cover of Time, and is truly an inspiring philanthropist.
Women for Women is based out of DC and matches up sponsors who donate a fixed amount each month to sponsor a woman in a war torn country. These funds go to helping women establish themselves and provide for their families. In DC, volunteers can help support the organization. This organization really does a great deal to empower women and rebuild communities one step at a time.

Church of the Epiphany is smack dab in the middle of downtown, and that works for this parish with a long and interesting history, because it draws people from all over the metro area. The membership is not huge, and because of that, there is a real sense of community here. The church is very diverse and sponsors programs reflecting that -- not just on Sundays, but throughout the week. You'll notice that Epiphany could use some interior cosmetics, and that's because this church focuses most of its money on reaching out to the homeless and others. An 8 a.m. service on Sundays attracts many of the homeless in the neighborhood, and a breakfast is served to them after that service. The next service is at 11.

Project Northstar provides tutoring for students in long-term temporary housing in Washington, DC. Tutoring takes place for about two hours a night most days of the week at six sites around the city. You can pick which site is most convenient for you. Best part is -- Project Northstar works hard to empower the students and incorporates the tutors to create a close-knit, supportive community that the kids seem to really respond to. I've been tutoring there for six months. It's been hard at the times I didn't know how to deal with misbehaving kids, but the staff of Project Northstar was always super helpful. I very much recommend it.
