Overview

NOTE: Any non-profit organization (501(c)3) seeking funding, whose work corresponds with our mission, is welcome to send us a letter of inquiry. Please take a look at our pending and ongoing projects before contacting us. Our Mission Our mission is to empower women in education and health initiatives, and give them the opportunities to promote peace and positive changes in their communities.​ Who we are We work with other organizations and academic institutions to support projects that positively impact women’s lives, increase cross-cultural understanding, and encourage women to become leaders in their communities. We believe that given the opportunity, women can promote positive changes in their communities and society at large. Access to education and health care are fundamental needs that go unmet many social environments. By supporting projects that promote women’s health and education, we ultimately support women as potential leaders and encourage womens empowerment. ​Due to the current high conflict situations and gender inequities in many parts of West Asia and the Middle East, we are specifically focusing on women in or from these areas.

All of these projects contribute to advancing the status and care of women in or from West Asia, as well as promoting understanding of West Asian and Muslim communities.
