Redefining Philanthropy to Center Women Leaders
We work in solidarity with our partners around the world who are enabling girls and women to live healthy, fulfilled, and empowered lives.
In addition to organizational strengthening and technical support, we assist women-led organizations to expand their networks, their visibility, and their sources of funding in pursuit of our common goal: gender equity.
We take direction from our partners and provide the assistance they request across three pillars.
WomenStrong works with 19 partners in 17 countries across 4 interconnected issues.
Partnering with WomenStrongEmpowering girls with life skills, education, and sisterhood is vital for them to become thriving women. We support our partners’ work to keep girls in school, engage boys and men in girls’ empowerment, train educators in gender-sensitive teaching, and encourage leadership among young women.
Despite the huge strides made globally in improving women’s health, tremendous challenges remain. Our partner organizations strive daily to improve access to quality health care for urban women and girls, and are instrumental in educating their communities about the health care women need and deserve.
Violence against women and girls affects one-third of all women globally in their lifetimes and is one of the leading causes of death, disability, and trauma for women of all ages. We help strengthen and elevate solutions devised by our local partners for eliminating violence against women and girls in their communities that can be applied worldwide.
Nothing less than transformational programs will enable women and their families to move out of poverty. We support and share learnings from partner programs that disrupt the status quo and amplify the power of women through the formation or strengthening of cooperatives, networks, and unions.
We focus on supporting our partners to develop learning systems that provide them with the information they need to prioritize accountability to their communities.
