It conveys the Founder and President powerful and fundamental message that supporting women and girls reduces inequalities and allows for everyone’s steady progress in society. We are increasingly positioning Womanity as an entrepreneurial philanthropic foundation that links the social and corporate sectors in an effort to address women’s empowerment. It serves to incubate new initiatives or scale up successful solutions so as to create deep-seated and lasting change. It promotes knowledge-sharing, the exchange of good practices and cooperation for successful outcomes benefitting girls, women and their communities. In our quest for innovative solutions and potential for scale, our local teams and operational partners are our greatest assets. Our results over the last years demonstrate that if they are nurtured with appropriate resources, skills and guidance, they will empower the girls and women they work with, improve their living conditions and increase social justice. These changes are already tangible in the communities where we are working.
