Our Purpose
Empowering women is to give them equal rights to participate in education, society, economy, and politically. The Foundation contributes to this empowerment by advancing women in their education and careers. Educating women has both an immediate effect as well as a long-lasting impact. When women are educated - societies are transformed, economies grow, health improves, and the world is overall benefited.
