I believe in the work of Pathwaves because I am a product of it. In less than 3 months since my time as a fellow came to an end, I received a job offer that would not have come without the skills learned and growth achieved due to my time as a apart of the organization. The committed leadership and support from the staff and partners will always stick with me. I believe the tireless work poured into the mission and vision will make WA’s early childhood policy landscape one that reflects the needs and lived experiences of the educators, providers, and families who are impacted by the system every day. 

We love ECVC and what it's done for our daughter and so many ECVC families.  Respect ALL. Fear NONE.

So happy to support. This money came from my amazing clients that trusted me to pierce their ears :)

So thankful for Soulcraft in my life 🙏

YWE is exactly what I hope to see more of in the world! Empowering young women with education and resources to escape poverty and violence. Education and mentorship are really the only ways that is accomplished. 

I gave because wedu is one of the platforms to build up my career ladder. 

It is estimated that there are up to 20,000 children orphaned in Gaza. Some are the sole survivors of their family, most are aged between six and ten years of age and over 5% are injured or in need of specialist medical care.

The program aims to respond to the orphan crisis on multiple fronts, from addressing immediate needs to establishing a lasting support system that orphans can rely on until they turn 18.

Donations are spent in five different ways:

Food and clothing
Healthcare
Education and vocational training
Protection and psychological support

With love from New York City, we stand with you! 

My regular donation is re-investment in education for potential women leaders including me.

Growing up I had a genuine curiosity for tech and sciences, but felt it could never be a career for me. I think back and wonder if it was because I never saw someone like me in those careers or were exposed to such opportunities when I was younger. Girls Who Code is opening the door for so many girls and I am so excited for what our future holds. #womenshistorymonth

Wedu supports women leaders in Asia through mentorship, leadership development, and financial support. 

**Wedu** is a not-for-profit social enterprise on a mission to nurture the next generation of women leaders in Asia. Founded in 2012, Wedu was born out of a desire to address the vast gender leadership gap that persists globally—and is especially stark in Asia, where it is projected to take 189 years to reach full gender parity, compared to the global average of 131 years. Wedu envisions "a world where half of all leaders are women," and works toward this by removing barriers to leadership and enabling women to rise through access to community, capital, and capability.

**HISTORY AND MISSION**

Wedu began with a fundamental insight: that the barriers to women’s leadership are not solely external, but deeply internalized, often rooted in cultural, familial, and social expectations. Over more than a decade, Wedu has developed a community-centered model that supports women at various stages of their leadership journeys—whether they are just discovering their potential or advancing complex career or civic goals.

Wedu’s consolidated mission is to empower women leaders through:

- **Community:** A lifelong supportive network of mentors, allies, and peers.
- **Capital:** Innovative financing to access education and development.
- **Capability:** Programs that shift mindsets and transform limiting beliefs.

These pillars are grounded in Wedu’s Theory of Change, which outlines transformative pathways at the individual, collective, and systemic levels. Wedu believes that change starts with strengthening a woman’s sense of agency and identity, expands through communities of solidarity and mentorship, and ultimately transforms society through gender equity allies and inclusive leadership structures.

**PROGRAMMES**

Wedu’s approach is both high-touch and scalable, combining personalized mentorship with technology-enabled leadership learning.

**Global Mentorship Programme**

This flagship program has supported over 1,500 women leaders (Rising Stars) with guidance from more than 1,700 mentors across the world. These mentorships focus on self-awareness, goal setting, network expansion, and resilience. Since inception, Wedu has facilitated over 90,000 hours of mentorship and more than 2,400 mentorship matches. As of 2024, 76% of participants say they attribute the successes on their leadership journey to the support they received from Wedu​.

**Introduction to Leadership (ITL) Course**

Wedu’s self-paced ITL course strengthens self-awareness, goal clarity, and agency—particularly among women who face structural and cultural barriers to leadership. Informed by over a decade of programming and global research, the course is contextualized for Asian women and integrates self-reflection, identity formation, and leadership development. By 2025, Wedu aims to reach 25,000 women with multilingual and multimodal versions of this course, scaling up to one million women by 2030 in partnership with The Agency Fund​.

**Income Sharing Agreement (ISA) Programme**

Through its innovative Income Sharing Agreement (ISA) model, Wedu enables women to finance their university education and leadership development without upfront costs. This model aligns repayment with income, ensuring financial flexibility and minimizing risk for the individual. As of 2024, Wedu brought this ISA program fully in-house, increasing operational efficiency and sustainability​

**Women’s Leadership Academy (WLA)**

Wedu has been a key partner in regional programs like the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Women’s Leadership Academy. Through mentorship and community-building, this initiative fosters strategic leadership among emerging changemakers across ASEAN.

**IMPACT AND REACH**

Wedu’s programs have demonstrated measurable impact:

- 75% of mentees report an increased sense of self-belief and confidence in expanding their leadership networks.
- Participants have achieved key milestones including career promotions, launching social ventures, and civic engagement.
- Wedu’s community spans over 30 countries, with a growing digital ecosystem and partnerships across the education, tech, and development sectors.
- Wedu aligns its impact with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), where the highest concentration of community engagement and initiatives are represented.

**ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH AND FUTURE PLANS**

In 2022, Wedu commissioned Bain & Company to conduct a Geographic Expansion Study, assessing market attractiveness and Wedu’s ability to succeed across prospective countries. Based on this analysis, priority countries for expansion—where both factors ranked high—include India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Cambodia, Myanmar, and Nepal were identified for selective expansion. Wedu is now acting on these recommendations by doubling down on our focus in South and Southeast Asia.

In response to major social, political, and economic shifts across South and Southeast Asia, Wedu has identified three concurrent crises affecting women leaders in the region: the Climate Crisis, the Care Economy, and persistent barriers to Economic Empowerment. To ensure our programmes remain relevant and responsive, our External Strategic Priorities for 2025–2027 are focused on directly addressing these challenges. By 2027, we aim to enable 1,000 women leaders to drive climate-resilient solutions; shift how society and women leaders view unpaid care work, recognizing it as a critical factor in advancing women’s leadership; and enhance the economic empowerment of 1,000 women leaders, particularly those leading Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), through capacity-building, education financing, strategic partnerships, and community support.

Wedu will continue to challenge both structural exclusions and internalized limitations faced by women. By integrating self-reflective leadership learning with long-term community and capital support, Wedu aims not just to close the gender gap—but to redefine leadership itself.

Young Women Emerge empowers girls in the DRC to learn, lead, and succeed through education, vocational training & mentorship.

### \*\*Who We Are\*\*

**Young Women Emerge (YWE)** is a movement of transformation, hope, and possibility for girls and young women in the DRC.

We believe in the power of *emergence*—rising from the shadows of poverty, violence, and inequality into strength, visibility, and purpose. YWE is here to light the spark and nurture it—offering the right support at the right moment to turn silent struggles into bold steps forward.

Think of YWE like a chrysalis—holding space for growth and transformation. We provide what’s needed when it’s needed. We don’t give them power—they already have it. We help them see it, trust it, and use it.

Through education, vocational skills, mentorship, and leadership training, we open doors where there were once walls. We help them build confidence, claim their rights, and make life-affirming choices for themselves and their communities.

Because when young women rise—*everything* rises with them.

---

### \*\*Our Mission\*\*
To empower girls and young women in vulnerable situations with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to break cycles of inequality—so they can shape their own lives and become leaders in their communities through education, training, and mentoring.

---

### \*\*The Problem We Address\*\*

Across the DRC, adolescent girls and young women—especially those in conflict-affected areas—face systemic barriers that rob them of their agency and future:

\* Limited access to education due to poverty, instability, and cultural norms

\* Early marriage and teenage pregnancy, often coerced or forced

\* Gender-based violence and insecurity, both at home and in public spaces

\* Minimal access to vocational skills, economic opportunity, or mentorship

\* Patriarchal systems that exclude girls and women from decision-making and leadership

---

### \*\*Why We Exist\*\*

**Young Women Emerge (YWE)** was born from a powerful partnership rooted in purpose.

In 2020, two passionate individuals—**Therese Nzale**, from RD Congo, and **Danielle Prince**, from the USA—met when working together in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). What began as professional collaboration quickly evolved into a deep bond grounded in shared values, vision, and a commitment to justice.

Through their work, Therese and Danielle discovered a profound synergy. They realized they were not only effective partners but also co-dreamers with a shared passion: empowering young women to overcome the systemic challenges of gender inequality, poverty, and violence.

In 2024, that passion became a reality. Together, they founded **Young Women Emerge**, a grassroots organization shaped by Therese’s lifelong dream and the urgent needs of girls in the DRC. YWE was created to be a space where girls can reclaim their futures, be mentored, gain skills, and emerge as leaders in their communities.

With over **55 years of combined experience** promoting human rights, education, and women’s empowerment, Therese and Danielle bring a legacy of advocacy to YWE. Their work spans continents and causes, but their focus remains constant: to support girls and young women in building lives of strength, purpose, and possibility.

YWE is the result of years of vision, trust, and collaboration. It represents what’s possible when women come together to build something bold—something that doesn't just serve, but transforms. Because when one young woman emerges, communities change—and the future begins to shift.

---

### \*\*Who We Serve\*\*

YWE serves vulnerable girls and young women—those marginalized by poverty, displacement, or discrimination—who demonstrate resilience, determination, and a desire to change their lives through education or training. These are girls and young women in vulnerable circumstances (orphaned, from one-parent homes, a parent or girl has a disability, war-displaced, survivors of sexual violence/rape, young mothers of sexual violence) who:

\* Show promise in academic or vocational pursuits

\* Aspire to contribute positively to their communities

\* Need opportunity, support, and mentorship to rise

---

### \*\*Our Unique Value\*\*

Unlike many interventions that simply include girls in existing structures, YWE reimagines and reshapes those structures through a feminist lens. We:

\* Prioritize access to male-dominated professions and trade sectors

\* Build a cohort-based mentor-mentee system that fosters sustainable, intergenerational leadership

\* Create a feminist network to amplify women’s voices, solidarity, and influence

---

### \*\*Theory of Change\*\*

\*\*If\*\* we provide vulnerable girls and young women in the DRC with timely access to education, vocational training, and mentorship,

\*\*then\*\* they will develop the knowledge, confidence, and skills to lead,

\*\*and\*\* they will emerge as agents of change in their communities—building a more gender-equal, inclusive society.

---

### \*\*Strategic Alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\*\*

Our work contributes to:

\* \*\*SDG 1: No Poverty\*\* – through economic empowerment via education and job readiness

\* \*\*SDG 4: Quality Education\*\* – by ensuring equitable access for girls and young women

In this way, YWE (JFE) doesn’t just support individuals—we catalyze a movement.

Community Works seeks to transform justice through programs and policies rooted in humanity and healing. 

**Who We Are?** 

Launched over 25 years ago as a source of innovation, Community Works serves people along the spectrum of justice system involvement. Our community includes currently/formerly incarcerated and system-impacted people, the majority of whom are Black or brown and low-income, including youth at risk for incarceration or whose parents are incarcerated. 

**What We Do?** 

CW prevents young people from entering criminal legal systems and improves outcomes for any who do by transforming justice at both the individual and systemic levels. We seek to move away from a systems-centered paradigm of safety and justice reliant on ineffective punitive measures and instead toward community-centered approaches that focus on equity, accountability, relationships, and healing.

Shri Sant Singaji Educational Society (SSES) empowers rural youth, especially rural girls, in Sandalpur.

History and Mission

Rural youth is a vast pool of untapped potential. Sadly, bright girls are made to sit at home, after school, due to rampant gender discrimination. Lack of awareness, prevailing social norms, etc. act as major deterrents to access of GIRLS to higher education. In a 70-km radius of Sandalpur, the number of students passing 12th Standard exceeds 8,000 annually. After that 33% (ASAR REPORT) of student dropped their education, and they do not enroll in their higher education.



Rural India is devoid of quality educational institutions and good teachers. Affluent rural youth go to nearby cities for education. Unable to cope with the medium (English) and the lifestyle, they return to their villages to join the ranks of unemployed youth, often getting into illegal activities. SSISM seeks to address this problem.



Sant Singaji Educational Society (SSES) was established in 2010, to create social and economic transformation in one of the most backward areas of the country, i.e. Sandalpur, District Dewas Madhya Pradesh (Gondwana area of Madhya Pradesh). 



The institute was founded by Mr. Pranjal Dubey, who left a high-profile job as a project manager at SAP Labs in Bangalore to address the pressing issue of inadequate education facilities in his native village, Sandalpur. His mission was to uplift local youth from poverty through education. 



SSES aims to be the leading rural educational organization dedicated to imparting skill-based training that empowers youth to become self-reliant, socially responsible, and employable. The society’s mission is to break the cycle of poverty and create opportunities for young people, fostering their growth as individuals and contributing to the overall development of their communities. Under this project, the organization is providing free education to 150 needy students every year. By fostering a supportive atmosphere through resources, mentorship, and community engagement, the project innovatively tackles the root cause of limited opportunities with a focus on enhancing employability, empowering individuals and contributing to the overall economic development of rural areas, making it a comprehensive and impactful initiative.  

Goals and Target Population:

SSES is dedicated to transforming the lives of rural youth in the Dewas, Sehore, and Harda districts of Madhya Pradesh. Its primary focus is on providing education and skill-based training to students aged 17 to 21 who have passed their 12th-grade exams. These young individuals represent a vast, untapped pool of potential that, when harnessed, can drive significant social and economic progress in their communities.

The institution's overarching Management aims to address the specific needs of rural communities by bridging educational gaps and empowering rural youth with practical skills essential for their personal and professional growth. The institute's measurable project objectives include expanding access to quality education by enrolling 15,000 students by 2030 and transforming the area into a "Singaji Educational Village." It seeks to enhance employability through a curriculum focused on Information Technology, Management, and Biotechnology, to equip 90% of students with practical skills that align with industry demands. 

Challenges Faced by Rural Youth:

Rural youth face numerous obstacles that hinder their access to higher education and employment opportunities. In the Sandalpur region alone, more than 8,000 students pass the 12th standard each year, yet the area lacks quality educational institutions and skilled teachers. After that 33% (ASAR REPORT) of student dropped their education, and they do not enroll in their higher education. Many affluent rural students who seek education in nearby cities struggle with the English medium and urban lifestyle, often returning to their villages and joining the ranks of the unemployed. This situation is compounded by gender discrimination, with many bright girls being made to stay home after school, unable to pursue further education due to societal expectations.

Without access to quality education, these youths are left vulnerable to unemployment and the lure of illegal activities, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and limited opportunities. SSES seeks to address these challenges by providing a structured, phased approach to education and skill development that prepares students for the professional world.

Past and Current Activities:

To bring about the socio-economic transformation of rural society by imparting high-quality holistic education to rural youth, we have adopted three programs which are ITEG (Information Technology Excellence Group), BEG (Bio Excellence Group), and MEG (Management Excellence Group). 



In three programs, we follow a three-level certification process where students go through various skill development and certification.  In the above-mentioned process, we enhance Academic quality education about the subject, which is prescribed by the university. In practical skills training the students get the knowledge of delivering content by using practical aspects and soft skills. Technical training, here students get technical training like- developing programs, designing websites, etc. which is required for companies. 

 

 When students complete the above training modulation, we provide them with future options in 3 ways:



	Post-Graduation- we prepare students and motivate them to do their post-graduation at Azim Premji University, IIM, Chennai Business School, etc.  



	EMPLOYMENT- For students who want to do a job after their graduation and be able to be financially independent we train them for IT companies and make sure they get jobs in reputed companies, such as Wipro, HSBC, TCS, CAP GEMINI.  



	Entrepreneurship- A Few Students express their interest in entrepreneurship. we encourage such students to get proper training with the help of some NGOs who train the students like Udhyam Learning Foundation, Karya NGO, etc. 



We have 5 IT companies working on the campus, which are:

Singaji software solution,  AWNS, Finezza, Trilliant Digital, and Tofrum 



Future Planned Activities

SSES is committed to expanding its impact in the coming years, with plans to enhance its educational programs and develop new initiatives that address the evolving needs of rural youth. 

1. Expanding Reach and Accessibility: SSES aims to increase its outreach to more rural areas, ensuring that students who are currently unable to access quality education have the opportunity to benefit from its programs. 

2. Industry Partnerships and Internship Programs: To better prepare students for the job market, SSES plans to establish partnerships with various industries, creating internship opportunities that provide hands-on experience. These collaborations will help students gain practical skills and enhance their employability.

3. Skill Development for Emerging Industries: As industries evolve, so too must the skills that SSES imparts to its students. The society is working to develop training modules in emerging fields such as digital marketing, data analysis, and renewable energy, ensuring that students are equipped with skills relevant to the current job market.

4. Entrepreneurship Development Programs: To foster self-employment and innovation, SSES plans to introduce entrepreneurship training programs that guide students in starting their businesses. This will include mentoring, access to resources, and support in developing business plans, helping students become job creators rather than job seekers.

5. Alumni Network and Mentorship: SSES is developing an alumni network to connect current students with past graduates who have successfully navigated higher education and the job market. This mentorship program will provide guidance, inspiration, and practical advice, creating a supportive community that extends beyond the classroom.

myAgro is an award-winning, nonprofit social enterprise helping smallholder farmers in West Africa move out of poverty.

In West Africa, there are more than 60 million smallholder farmers – many of whom live on less than $2 per day. These farmers face a number of challenges that keep them in a cycle of poverty. First, they lack access to secure places to save money. This means at planting time, they are unable to purchase high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and other farm inputs. Because many smallholders in West Africa are dependent on one rainy season per year, their yields and income are vulnerable to climate change as rains become less predictable and temperatures rise. Lastly, many smallholders lack access to the information and training they need to improve soil fertility and increase their yields.

Since 2012, myAgro has provided farmers with a savings tool, high-quality inputs, and the training and support they need to increase farm productivity. myAgro farmers are equipped to improve their yields and income, ensuring their family’s food security and livelihood. The myAgro model includes:

- Mobile Layaway Technology: Farmers save money little by little to purchase myAgro packages. They make payments using mobile money or scratch cards (similar to buying mobile phone credit).
- High-Quality Farm Inputs: Farmers select from rainy and off-season packages of high-quality seeds and fertilizer, tree seedlings, or poultry – which are delivered within or very near villages.
- Climate-Smart Agricultural Training: Farmers receive in-person agriculture training on microdosing fertilizer, organic composting, intercropping, and more – leading to increased soil fertility and higher yields. 
- Year-Round Call Center Support: myAgro Call Centers provide farmers with real-time mobile support to answer questions, including calls made to every farmer to support them during planting season.

The myAgro model creates a powerful impact. Over the last five years on average, myAgro farmers across Mali and Senegal have grown 130% more food and earned $156 more annually than control farmers. For a farmer making $2/day, this represents a 21% increase in annual income.

Because farmers are able to reinvest this income in their farms for the next season, myAgro’s market-based approach to improved food security creates an impact that is sustainable. And because our model is built on mobile technology, it is scalable and replicable.

Importantly, myAgro provides a pathway for women farmers to overcome gender barriers and increase household income. We design our model, packages, and training with women’s needs at the center. In 2024, 70% of all farmers served were women.

Zera Bolivia Foundation fosters indigenous-led education, enabling self-empowerment, financial independence, and social mobility.

**Zera Bolivia** is an Aymara-led foundation that hosts classes and events for kids as a response to colonial norms, championing indigenous self-determination—especially for women and girls—through transformative education grounded in emotional intelligence, critical thinking, self-awareness, and practical tools for financial independence.

We began in 2015 with a socio-emotional learning pilot at a women’s prison in La Paz, and have since grown to reach thousands of children, youth, and families across Bolivia’s nine departments. Collaborating with municipal governments, the Ministry of Education, and local communities, we co-create culturally adapted programs that honor each community’s priorities and values. Thanks to our community and donor support, we have provided training, world-class educational materials, and technology infrastructure to prisons, children’s hospitals, rural areas, schools, and grassroots groups—always centering local leadership.

From the “Qantatai” literature podcast to “Bolivian Thinkers for Everyone By Zera,” our initiatives celebrate Bolivia’s intellectual heritage and open new pathways for dialogue and growth. Participants often report stronger emotional well-being, improved academic performance, and greater economic opportunities. As we look to the future, we are developing our first “STEM for Indigenous Young Women” program in El Alto and across 20 rural provinces of La Paz, in partnership with India’s STEMED NETWORK.

When you support Zera Bolivia, you invest in locally driven, inclusive solutions that affirm the power of Indian communities to shape their own destiny. Your contribution furthers our shared vision of a Bolivia where education is a tool for self-empowerment, cultural pride, and lasting social change.

The ICJ is a unique legal NGO that shapes international laws to protect human rights, and makes sure these laws are used.

Over the past 70 years, our work has benefited the lives of millions of people - including yours. 

We have been responsible for building and strengthened the legal processes need to protect human rights globally. But as growing authoritarianism threatens decades of progress, we are asking **you** to help ensure that this continues, and that judges and lawyers can stand up to political pressure and protect the rights of ordinary people. 

With your support, cases that decide whether a journalist goes to prison, whether survivors of abuse are heard, or whether a child faces persecution can be fought - and won. Your donation translates into **real freedoms restored, fair trials secured, and systemic reforms that protect millions long after your gift is given**.

Without your support, the rule of law will erode more quickly and more quietly. Judges silenced, activists prosecuted, and communities left without justice are not just stories — they are the frontline of whether or not the law can still protect us. If the ICJ cannot step in, those who abuse the law to silence dissent or enrich themselves will succeed. If we lose ground on the decades of progress made since the Second World War, there will be lasting consequences for those who have nowhere else to turn.

Around the world, democratic institutions are under unprecedented attack. Supporting the ICJ now means ensuring independent courts and legal systems survive the current wave of repression, so that the law will protect, rather than persecute. The urgency is not abstract — the next few years will determine whether rights roll back for decades to come.

The ICJ is trusted by governments, bar associations, leading foundations, UN agencies,  and civil society groups worldwide — but perhaps most tellingly, by **judges, lawyers and human rights defenders themselves**. When their safety is at risk, they turn to the ICJ for expertise and solidarity. 

We work shoulder to shoulder with national partners in over 30 countries, supporting the drafting and adoption of landmark human rights treaties and conventions, submitting legal interventions in domestic and international courts, providing legal education and training on human rights law, and building networks of lawyers and judges committed to upholding the rule of law.

By donating, you will be joining a global community of institutions and individuals who support the ICJ's critical work.

The ICJ's Commissioners are serving or former senior judges, lawyers, and legal academics from all legal traditions, selected for their experience, knowledge and fundamental commitment to human rights. Their pro bono support gives the ICJ's legal teams unique credibility and influence with governments, courts, and international organizations. We speak with the unbaised authority of legal scholars, not just as an advocacy group.
