In some of the most environmentally threatened places in the world, WEA leaders are defending forests and rivers, saving threatened indigenous seeds, launching sustainable farms, conserving coral reefs, and protecting land rights.
Since 2006, WEA’s signature model has enabled over 10,000 women to build their technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills—and together, we’re reaching over 10 million people with safe water, energy access, regenerative farming, and climate initiatives.
