PACWA EUROPE
(Christian Women in the Frontline)
You are welcome to the site of the Pan African Christian Women’s Alliance (Europe). We are thankful that you are visiting us.
1) The Pan African Christian Women's Alliance (PACWA) was born in Kenya in 1989 to mobilize women to pray for the family, church, national and continental concerns.
2) To build the capacity of women to participate, alongside men, in development and leadership in all spheres of society.
PACWA EUROPE is a ministry of the Association of Evangelical in Africa (AEA), an organization that brings together evangelical churches across Africa. PACWA's global role is to bring evangelical women together in an organized network to respond to the challenges facing their continents. "PACWA exists to play a mediation role in ensuring women's full participation and involvement at every level of the home, church and society."
The alliance is currently actively working in 32 countries in Africa. It also has chapters in the USA and The Netherlands. It is planning to establish more chapters across Europe.
