Women In Need Society (WINS) is a charitable not-for-profit organization in Calgary. Established in 1992, WINS' mission is to help women help themselves through innovative and effective programs and services.

WINS works with women in low-income situations. This includes:

• women coming out of shelters
• single mothers and their children
• women in transition
• new Canadians

WINS goal is that women have the resources, knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve self-sufficiency.

At WINS we understand that to develop human potential to its fullest we must do more than simply provide for the basic human needs of food, clothing, and shelter. Our approach is to work step by step to help women help themselves.

WINS Logo

The Butterfly, a symbol of transition.
A woman discovering her courage and feeling free, happy and peaceful is like a butterfly emerging from its caterpillar phase.
Like a butterfly, a woman can find her way out of a dark place.
She can transform herself into a beautiful creature
She can find her wings and fly. 


The Women In Need Society gratefully acknowledges the financial support of Status of Women Canada.
