Women in Need Industries
(WINI) is a non-profit organization
located in Southern Maine.
WINI’s programs
and services help women to gain personal independence
and economic stability.
We are dedicated
to assisting disadvantaged and displaced women and their families.
"Whether
the transition is due to civil war in a foreign country or violence
at home, international upheavals or the closing of a local employer,
substantial barriers – language, culture, economics or
knowledge – often stand in the way of building a new life."
WINI also helps women
and families with the transition to new communities, assisting
them to become active members and participants in their new
society.
