Diocesan Women’s Project Renamed

The Diocesan Women’s Project has evolved over the years emerging strongly as a Development Auxiliary.
During Diocesan Synod 2008 it was agreed to rename this project.
This Auxiliary is now called:  The "Diocesan Women's Development Project" (DWDP).

Diocesan Women’s Development Project (DWDP) was established in 1991, combining MU, AWF and other church women in a project to develop skills and generate income for women and families.  Sewing, gardening and detergent bottling are some of their developmental activities.
