WUTMI was established in 1987 and
re-vitalized in 2000, and is chartered by the Government of the Republic of the
Marshall Islands to operate as a non-governmental and not-for-profit
organization. It is a grassroots organization networking and reaching out to
individual women organization throughout the 24 major communities within the
Republic. While mandated to operate within the
Marshall Islands, additional
women’s organizations are forming chapters outside the Republic, particularly in
the US States of Hawaii and California, to become members of WUTMI. As an
evolving learning organization, WUTMI provides opportunities for organizational
and individual growth through networking and coordination, as well as through
delivery of direct and indirect services as it aims for (gender and cultural)
solidarity, stability and development, and as it attempts to align itself with
the universal quest for justice, peace and equality.
establishing
its office management capabilities, and providing advocacy and technical
support in social and gender issues have occupied the time and energy of
the officers, the members, and the expanding staff. The General
Assembly of 2002 became a critical benchmark in the development of WUTMI
as a learning NGO. At such meeting, the existing mission statement for WUTMI was approved.
A five year strategic plan is currently being finalized.
