WomenTogether Network

Empowering a strong network of women

The WomenTogether Network (WTN) is an empowering initiative to foster a strong network of women supporting women within the Daughters of Zion Women Foundation. Our objective is to enhance spiritual growth, provide mutual support, and create personal and communal development opportunities. Through various components, we aim to build a community where women can thrive and support each other in meaningful ways.
