The AWWA has been supporting families of soldiers, focusing on women empowerment through its numerous welfare initiatives. The AWWA’s initiatives are guided by its five key focus areas. These include outreach to widows and next of kin, empowering all Army families by fostering a sense of belonging and ownership within the organisation, increasing the happiness index of the military ecosystem by meeting the aspirations of families and serving personnel alike.
