1. Educate One, Empower Thousands

2. Imagine if there was a way to increase a family’s income, reduce infant mortality, improve community health and well-being.
Would you help?  

3. The fastest way to achieve these goals is to educate women
PS we’re not just staying this. It has been proven in a multitude of academic studies

4. The way to create lasting positive change in society is to ensure the women that are educated are then free to take on leadership roles across community, government, and in business.

5. The UN recognises this as a global priority, and the We women foundation dedicates itself to making it a reality in Myanmar

6. Our mission is to prepare women for leadership
IF you agree that women and men should have equal power to shape their societies – then welcome aboard, you’re already part of the change!
We women foundation runs programmes that equip women in Myanmar to step into leadership roles.
In return they go on to affect lasting culturally-relevant change through reform, policy, business and leadership!

7. We’re part of a global change!
We women foundation is an organisation delivering against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5: Achieve gender equality: Empower all women and girls
We women foundations programmes help:
Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life 
Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels

8. Here’s what we do to make change a reality
Scholarships
We provide scholarships to enable women to complete tertiary education. Each scholarship runs on the understanding that women will return to their region to take an active leadership role to be the change for the future.
We women leadership network
Business and project development
We create strong multi-discipline networks across the ethnic areas in Myanmar and link them together at a national level to give them one single strong voice together – more powerful for influencing and working for change!
Our recently launched programme in Myanmar provides training to develop the project management, business management, and executive-level skills of women. This unique program provides an opportunity for women from marginalised communities to build upon their strengths and entrepreneurial skills.

14. Small actions really can make a big difference
Dear Ursula,
“I won a medal for outstanding student and received a certificate, since my GPA is over 3.5. I was flabbergasted, when they called my name for the gold medal, as there were only 3 students who were granted a medal. With this I would like to say that I am thankful for the place where I currently am in life. For that I would like to express my deepest heartfelt gratitude to the donor and we Women for your continuous support, without you I wouldn't be standing proudly here today.”

15. We would welcome your support in whichever way, shape or form you can provide it.
THANK YOU!
Stay in touch!
