Led by the women of Bidibidi
WCI is run by the women who live the reality of the settlement every day: refugee and host-community leaders driving protection, training, and cookstove programmes from the ground up, not directed from outside it.

When we first sat together under a neem tree in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in 2021, we carried the heavy weight of violence, loss, and displacement from South Sudan.
Realizing that external aid alone couldn’t heal our deep wounds or protect our vulnerable women and girls, we began pooling our small savings and sharing our daily struggles. That initial circle taught us that refugee women are not passive aid recipients, but the primary architects of community recovery.
Today, Women Concern and Ideas stands as a living testament to that grassroots female leadership, dedicated to ensuring every refugee woman and girl in Yumbe District is heard, valued, and equipped to shape her own future.
