Economic Empowerment
IADWYL will provide empowerment opportunities for youths and women, especially widows and primary caregivers, through seed funding, mini-grants, fellowships, and business mentorship to drive economic progress.
We will also commit resources to help survivors of gender-based violence rebuild their lives, become economically empowered, and get justice.
Reduce Inequalities
IADWYL will work to reduce systemic inequalities against women and young people by advocating for policy changes, driving social campaigns to challenge cultural barriers against female and youth leadership, and promoting inclusion.
Education and Upskilling
IADWYL will advance the upskilling of women and youths by providing educational support, training, and fellowship programs with a special focus on:
- Girl Child Education
We believe that quality and inclusive educational opportunities for girls are crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty and inequality. Through targeted programs that promote access to quality education and mentorship, we aim to create a generation of educated, confident, and resilient women who can lead and inspire change in their communities and beyond.
- Persons Living With Disabilities
We will create opportunities that empower individuals with disabilities to develop their skills, enhance their potential, and participate fully in economic, social, and political development. Through tailored programs that provide accessible education, specialized training, and mentorship, we aim to break down barriers and ensure that persons living with disabilities have the resources and support needed to thrive.
Community-Based Interventions
IADWYL will champion a sustainability-centered approach to community development by integrating innovative solutions that promote economic sustenance, protect our environment, and promote healthy living.
Through initiatives focused on clean water access, clean cooking technologies, and climate-smart agricultural practices, we aim to empower women and youths to become active participants in community development.
Fostering Innovation
IADWYL will foster innovation by serving as a hub for STEM Education for schoolchildren from underserved communities. Through our community hubs and initiatives, we will train 1000 students in technical skills such as software engineering, data analytics, data engineering, robotics, and product design over the next decade.
We will also provide opportunities for women and youths to partner, collaborate, and co-create tech-driven solutions for their communities.
