Listen to Program Manager Erin McKinnon’s recent interview on 3RRR radio!

Program Manager, Erin McKinnon:

“On a recent trip to East Timor to visit IWDA project partners, I was able to spend time with a diverse range of passionate and inspiring women, and to visit the people involved in our current programs in the region. Life can be very difficult for women in particular, in remote regions of East Timor, given their role as primary care givers and food producers. Some villages are not accessible by road, and have very few basic services such as running water, electricity or telephone lines, let alone a school or health clinic. The programs IWDA funds in these areas focus on sustainable livelihoods, education and income generation.
Last week I had the chance to share the experiences of my trip on RRR radio, and IWDA will be conducting regular updates with RRR in the future.”

You can listen to the interview where Erin discusses the most recent work of IWDA in East Timor, as well as important ongoing literacy programs across Asia and the Pacific.
