NRWPTT is promoting Rural Women and Girls

Following the Organization of American States (OAS) “First Ladies Hemispheric Conference” held in Chile in 1995, a significant outcome was a meeting of Non governmental Organisations (NGOs) which focus on rural women and rural communities. Our First Lady, with the support of Inter-American Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA), called a number of existing NGO’s to formulate the guidelines for the establishment of the Network of Rural Women Producers, Trinidad and Tobago (NRWPTT). NRWPTT was formed in 1995 and is a national umbrella organization comprising a membership of over 60 small businesses and individuals.
