Who or what is WANDA?
Founded in 2007, the Women’s Achievement Network and Development Alliance (WANDA) is a circle of women who pool their donations to invest in a strategy that will increase the economic self-sufficiency of low-income single mothers in San Mateo County. Specifically, WANDA supports financial education for moms and then matches their savings 2:1 over a 2 – 3 year period in an effort to break the cycle of poverty. This strategy is called asset building.
