We believe that increasing women's inclusion in the economy is essential to solving today's most urgent challenges. To do this, we equip young women from under-resourced communities in India and globally with the skills, mentorship and networks to pursue future-focused careers - over 81% of our alumnae have entered careers of their own choosing or are pursuing advanced education. This holiday season, light the way for a young woman to choose how she lives, learns, leads and earns!
Women make up half the world's population but only 39% of the workforce, contributing just 37% of global GDP. Social and economic barriers, limited digital access, and lack of mentorship and networks prevent millions of young women from securing dignified employment. Their exclusion from decision-making and the formal economy has far-reaching consequences for families, communities and global progress.
Founded in 2002 on the belief that every woman holds a spark to ignite change, Women's Education Project provides the Leadership Academy, a holistic, community-based, career-readiness program, anchored in a sisterhood and a community of mentors and role models. The program is hybrid, supported by LAMP (Leadership Academy in My Pocket), a mobile-first platform, enabling self-directed exploration of career paths.
WEP's 2025 Impact Assessment report showed that 81% of our students entered formal sector employment or are pursuing further education. 92% receive regular mentorship. 43% of alumnae are mentors. 89% are satisfied with their careers. 75% have learned new skills. 94% are actively learning new skills and seeking guidance.
