bout The National Council of Women of the US: is the oldest nonpartisan, nonsectarian, voluntary women's organization in the US. It retains 501(c)3 charity, nonprofit status and is in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the UN Department of Public Information. The Council, in partnership with its affiliates, has installed over 80 water wells in Ghana, provided "Mama Kits" for
