Welcome

Welcome to Joniškio moterų asociacija

We are a Lithuanian association established to encourage community participation, social cooperation, educational development and opportunities for women and local residents. Since 2003, our identity has been rooted in community-oriented work.

We believe stronger communities are built when people can participate, develop practical skills, form meaningful relationships and contribute what they know. Different individuals and families face different challenges — through cooperation we help create an environment where people feel welcomed, respected and encouraged to take part.
