This year we spotlight women who are transforming their communities through their work with climate resilience, care leadership, and economic empowerment. 

For the first time ever, the Awards will also honour the invaluable allies who volunteer their time and expertise to uplifting women across the region. Accompanying the three award categories for Women Leaders, is our first ever award for mentors.  

Our leadership development programmes, the Introduction to Leadership course and the Women’s Leadership Academy, build women’s capability to dream freely and pursue leadership positions, whilst pushing up against gender stereotypes and societal biases.

We offer two mentorship programmes: the Global Mentorship Programme and tailored mentorship programmes through paid-partnership agreements. Partner with us to bring our regional expertise and global network to your organisation.

Our Income Sharing Agreements (ISA) Programme eliminates the financial barrier many women face by providing accessible, customisable, and flexible stop-gap financing to women who want to pursue further education or skills development.

We know that meaningful change is a collective effort, and that leadership development is an ongoing commitment.

Once part of our community, women leaders have life-long access to opportunities and networks at Wedu – ensuring support at any stage of their leadership journey.
