Fellowship of International Women (FIW) is an education and leadership partnership with international women living temporarily in the United States while their husbands are attending university or seminary classes. Its purpose is not only to orient and train women while they are here but also to empower them to help other women in their spheres of influence after they return home.

Often feeling isolated and confused, international women both wives of internationals and single women scholars face multiple challenges adjusting to a new culture. Women to the World is uniquely equipped to help in many of the areas of greatest need by training and equipping women leaders during a unique and strategic period of their lives. We are then available to follow up in their home countries with expert consultations, further training, and supervision as needed.

FIW chapters exist at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL and Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, MO. Based on their experiences with FIW in the U.S., women have organized chapters in Singapore, Cambridge, UK, and other locations.
