WOPI-Boston International has been at the forefront of empowering immigrant women and families as they settle in their new homes in America. We strive to eliminate domestic violence, discrimination, and harassment in workplaces, schools, and other sectors of society. We also promote secure health families, birth control, and reproductive rights for women.
Our Story
WOPI-Boston International (incorporated as 'Women of Purpose International' ) was initially formed in 2008 following an inspired calling in Waltham, Massachusetts by Dorothy Ssebakka. Through her wise judgment, Dorothy observed that despite having been empowered in various ways, immigrant women still have a challenge of embracing the (unfamiliar) US development opportunities- opportunities that are needed for these women to positively benefit from their communities by accessing the resources available therein.
Our Mission
WOPI-Boston International founded the 'care team' in 2013 specifically with the role of feeding the homeless, offering grief counseling, visiting the sick, and the incarcerated, not just with physical substance, but the spiritual food of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
