💸✨ Empowering Our Community: Financial Literacy for Health & Healing✨💸

At WORLD, we know that a woman’s health is deeply connected to every part of her life — including her finances. Stable finances can mean safer housing, healthier food, access to care, and less stress — all of which are critical for better health outcomes. That’s why we believe education shouldn’t stop at medical care — it should also empower people to take control of their financial futures.

We’re so proud to offer our Financial Literacy Class, taught biweekly in English and Spanish by our incredible case manager, Laura Lepe! This interactive class covers everything from Budgeting 101, saving, credit, loans, debt, and so much more. It’s designed to build confidence, knowledge, and real-world skills that uplift our community’s well-being far beyond the doctor’s office.

💜 The best part? It’s totally free and open to everyone! Classes are held every other Thursday at 11 AM at WORLD. All you have to do is give us a call or stop by to sign up — we’d love to see you there!

❤️💪 National HIV Testing Day: Knowledge is Power, Testing is Care ❤️💪

Every year on June 27th, communities across the country recognize National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) — a day established in 1995 to encourage people to get tested, know their status, and take charge of their health. Nearly 30 years later, the message is still clear: When we know our status, we empower ourselves, protect our loved ones, and help end the HIV epidemic.

At WORLD — Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Disease — this day holds special meaning. Our work has always centered on breaking down stigma, creating safe spaces for testing and care, and ensuring that women, families, and those most impacted by HIV have the resources and support they need to thrive.

In honor of National HIV Testing Day, WORLD was proud to attend the Serenity House Block Party — a vibrant monthly community health gathering we co-host in partnership with Alameda County Health right outside our center on San Pablo Avenue. Like a true block party, it’s filled with music, hot food, and community connection. But it’s also so much more: our unhoused neighbors come to access vital services — from vaccinations to blood pressure and blood sugar checks — and this month, our team provided HIV testing, case management services, and Seeking Safety/substance misuse training and education.

National HIV Testing Day reminds us that testing is not just a medical act — it’s an act of love, empowerment, and community care. WORLD is committed to ensuring that everyone, especially women and historically marginalized communities, has access to the knowledge and resources they need to live healthy, thriving lives.

💜 Here’s to continuing this work every day — and to building a future where knowing your status is the first step toward lifelong wellness, not stigma.

🌈✨ On June 24th, WORLD was proud to take part in the City of Berkeley Pride Month event at the North Berkeley Senior Center! Our wonderful case manager, Laura Lepe, connected with community members, sharing information about our programs and services and giving out free hygiene supplies to support health and well-being.

As Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Disease, WORLD is dedicated to providing education, resources, and support that empower our community — especially women and seniors — to take charge of their health. We believe knowledge is power, whether we’re talking about HIV, chronic illness, or any life-threatening condition that affects our lives and families.

Events like this remind us how important it is to reach everyone, across generations, with information and care — because our health and our pride go hand in hand.

Thank you to the City of Berkeley’s Multicultural/Diversity & Training Program for inviting WORLD to be part of this meaningful day of celebration and community connection. 💜🌿 Happy Pride, Berkeley!

Violence is a public health issue. 💜
This , we’re raising awareness about how violence impacts the health and futures of our youth—especially young women, Black youth, Indigenous youth, and other youth of color, including LGBTQ+ communities.

At WORLD, we believe that health equity includes safety. That’s why our work in HIV prevention, trauma-informed care, and empowerment is rooted in breaking cycles of violence and building safe, thriving communities.

Let’s stand together for healing, protection, and justice!

🌟 Last Friday, WORLD teamed up with the Oakland LGBTQ Center and the Dream Youth Clinic for a powerful Transgender HIV Testing Day event! 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

We hosted a vibrant resource and testing fair that brought together community, care, and connection. From free HIV testing to access to affirming health resources, the day was all about centering and celebrating our trans community while breaking down stigma and promoting wellness.

Huge thank you to everyone who came out, got tested, and shared space with us. Your presence and power made the day unforgettable. 💪✨

Together, we’re building a future where health equity and compassion lead the way. Stay tuned for more events like this — the work continues, and you’re all a part of it. 💜

📚✨ Thursdays at WORLD mean community, connection, and financial empowerment!

Our Financial Literacy Class has been going strong every week—offered in both English and Spanish to make sure everyone feels welcome. Participants receive a full curriculum binder, a budget tracker planner, and a light lunch as we dig into topics like budgeting, credit, income streams, and more. 💸🧠

We’ve designed this course with our community in mind—answering real questions, tackling real concerns, and building real skills. Whether someone’s trying to rebuild credit, start a small business, or just understand how to stretch a paycheck, we’re here to support that journey.

💡 Financial literacy is a powerful tool—especially for women. It’s not just about dollars and cents, it’s about agency, confidence, and stability. When women are equipped with the knowledge to manage their money, they’re more empowered to make decisions that support their health, families, and futures.

Shout out to all our amazing participants who show up every week ready to learn, share, and grow! 💪🏽💜
