The Associated Countrywomen of the World is the world organisation of country women. The members of its Constitutent So- cieties, scattered all over the world, are united by friendship and the aims they hold in com- mon. Every third year. their representatives meet at the Triennial Conferences to lay down the policy to be carried out by the Executive Com- mittee and the Central Office. ACWW is striv- ing to build international friendship and unâ€" derstanding and to improve rural conditions. It is playing its part in international affairs and speaking for country women at meetings of the United Nations. The annual subscriptions are not sufficient to finance all the important work.
