Mission Statement
At WEP's Leadership Academy, young women (ages 15+) in India overcome the debilitating issues of poverty to become leaders, prepared to earn and make lasting change in their own lives, families and communities. Since 2002, WEP has recognized the unlimited potential in each of its over 3,650 graduates.
About This Cause
At WEP's Leadership Academy (provided with NGO partners) young women discover a career path and learn how they wish to lead. The Academy's 4 pillars: 1. SAFE SPACE: mentorship, friendship, study and hang-out space, potable water, nutrition, library and computer lab; 2. CERTIFICATES: Foundations (health, rights, financial literacy, gender), Skills (communication, technology and specialized skills), Exploration (community and beyond field trips), Leading Change (changemaker training); 3. NEXT STEPS (scholarships & microgrants) and 4. ALUMNAE COMMUNITY, (ongoing support as well as opportunity to mentor and giveback.) WEP graduates, of which there are over 3,500, are leaders in their homes and communities. 64% enter careers of their own choosing. WEP partner NGOs are in Kadapa, Madurai and Hyderabad, South India. Our Vision – In a world of accelerating change, we see women, proud and informed, making important and informed decisions about their lives, their families and communities. We see women, vibrant and determined, choosing careers for which they are confident and well prepared. We see women, courageous and enterprising, preparing the way for others to follow. We see this now. The needs are urgent. The world can’t wait.
