Powerful Women Create Powerful Nations

For Women Like You International is a US-based nonprofit organization supporting women who are negatively impacted by infertility, conflict, economic crises, patriarchy, and cultural restrictions. It was launched in 2020 with a passionate commitment to support and empower women globally. Our vision is a world where every woman has the resources and opportunities to thrive, regardless of her circumstances. We believe that empowering women can empower entire nations and drive positive change worldwide. We support our services through the generous sponsorship of sponsors, corporate and foundation donors, partners, and governments.

Our Goals

At our organization, we are driven by the vision of empowered women leading fulfilling lives and positively impacting their communities. We focus on three key areas to achieve this mission:

  • Supporting Fertility Journeys in the USA
  • Building Stronger Communities in Rural Tanzania
  • Empowering Women in Palestine

We understand the emotional and financial challenges associated with fertility treatments. We aim to empower women seeking these treatments by providing comprehensive resources, financial assistance programs (if applicable), and emotional support networks.

Women in rural Tanzania often face limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. We strive to provide them with the support they need to become agents of change in their communities. This could involve programs promoting financial literacy, agricultural training, or small business development initiatives.

We recognize the unique social and economic barriers faced by women in Palestine. Our goal is to equip them with the resources and skills they need to overcome these challenges and achieve their full potential. This may involve initiatives focused on education, employment opportunities, or access to healthcare.

By working towards these goals, we hope to create a ripple effect of empowerment, where women not only improve their own lives but also contribute to the social and economic well-being of their communities.

So, we invite you to join us!

Lillian Laston

Founder & CEO, For Women Like You International

Hi, my name is Lillian Laston , and I am honored to welcome you to For Women Like You International!

Here, nestled in [Your Location], I am joined by a dedicated team and supported by my loving family, including my spouse [Spouse’s Name], our precious daughter [Daughter’s Name], and our cherished son [Son’s Name].

My personal journey to founding For Women Like You International was a path paved with challenges and triumphs, inspired by the courageous women I encountered along the way. In [Year], I embarked on a fertility journey of my own, grappling with the complexities of infertility and the emotional rollercoaster it entails.

A diagnosis of [Your Fertility Issue] in [Year] propelled me into a series of surgeries and medical procedures, each step laden with hope and uncertainty. Despite setbacks and heartaches, including the loss of [two] precious babies, I emerged from this journey with a newfound resilience and compassion.

Throughout my struggles, I was fortunate to have a strong support network of family, friends, and compassionate professionals who guided me through the darkest days. Yet, I recognized that my privilege and access to financial resources set me apart from countless others facing similar challenges.

It was this realization that ignited the spark for For Women Like You International. I was determined to create an organization dedicated to alleviating the financial burdens that often accompany fertility treatments, ensuring that every individual and family can pursue their dream of parenthood without sacrificing their financial stability.

At For Women Like You International, our mission is clear: to stand alongside brave families as they script their own fertility stories, offering a beacon of hope and support in their time of need. While we may not be able to erase all the obstacles on their journey, we are committed to removing one significant barrier—the financial hurdle.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to extend our support to women in need in Tanzania and Palestine as we continue to grow and maximize our impact.

I invite you to join us on this noble quest as we strive to rewrite narratives with happy endings and empower individuals and families to embrace the joys of parenthood and women to explore their full potential. Together, let us create a world where every dream becomes a reality, regardless of financial, social, or economic constraints.

Thank you for embarking on this journey with us. Your support and partnership are invaluable as we navigate the path ahead, one step closer to a future filled with hope, love, and endless possibilities.”
