History of NCNW
Our Mission

NCNW fulfills this mission through research, advocacy, national and community based services and programs in the U.S. and the African countries.
Our Message

Our Method
NCNW translates its philosophy of public education, community service, and advocacy through activities designed to:
- Disseminate information about issues affecting the well-being of African American women and their families;
- Promote healthy lifestyles and behaviors through health promotion and disease prevention projects;
