About the Project
Our program – Empowerment and Financial Independence for Women – is designed to support women, especially mothers, at pivotal moments of their professional lives: returning to work after parental leave, changing careers, or advancing within their current roles.
The program consists of two key components:
• An online masterclass (2-hour webinar) focused on job readiness, future competencies, and empowerment – open to up to 250 women.
• A 4-month mentoring cycle for a selected group of 20 participants, including personalized mentoring, career workshops, skill-building activities, and Gallup Strengths assessments.
Why This Matters
Women face disproportionate challenges in the workforce due to career breaks, biases, and limited access to development opportunities. By supporting women's professional development, we invest in stronger families, more inclusive workplaces, and prospering communities.
Our project contributes to three key UN Sustainable Development Goals: reduced inequalities (SDG 10), gender equality (SDG 5), and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8).
The Impact We Have Already Seen
Through our previous programs, we have witnessed life-changing outcomes for participants. Women who have gone through our empowerment initiatives have shared stories of returning to the job market after years of absence, gaining financial independence, and rebuilding their confidence. We are committed to bringing these results to an even wider group of women through this project.
Next Steps
We continue to actively fundraise and promote the campaign. Once we reach sufficient funding, we will launch the masterclass and mentoring program and report on concrete outcomes.
