Who benefits from IFFAMPAC’s work?

IFFAMPAC's focus is the family. When armed conflict occurs women frequently become the head of their households overnight. Many are not able to provide sufficiently for their families because of numerous social, legal and cultural obstacles.  As a result, IFFAMPAC places particular emphasis on developing programs and projects to improve the quality of life for women and children.

IFFAMPAC is a 501(c)(3) organization.
