The mission of the funder is to empower women in education and health initiatives, providing opportunities to promote peace and positive changes in their communities. They work with organizations and academic institutions to support projects that positively impact women’s lives, increase cross-cultural understanding, and encourage women to become leaders in their communities. They focus on meeting the unmet needs of education and healthcare, specifically targeting women in or from West Asia and the Middle East facing high conflict situations and gender inequities.
The grant program supports non-profit organizations working on projects that align with empowering women, especially in education and health sectors. Specific causes include investing in women's human rights, supporting refugee and immigrant communities, and providing educational and professional training for women. The grants aim to directly and indirectly support women's roles as community leaders and professionals, with a geographical focus on West Asia and the Middle East. The program seeks to enhance the status and care of women while promoting understanding of West Asian and Muslim communities through active local engagement.
We particularly welcome applications from organizations operating within our preferred geographic regions.
