FiW international

Since FiW began its work in 1980, its employees have also been working on projects abroad. Networking, successful project initiation and, last but not least, the interests of our employees have led to the fact that there are countries and regions in which we are increasingly active and on which we focus our cooperation. The main focus of our projects is in the target regions of Africa and Asia.
