Unlimited Potential in Every Young Woman
Founded in 2002 on the belief that the decisions made by a self-reliant, informed, skilled and civically engaged woman effect lasting positive change in her life, her family, her community and society, WEP’s grassroots NGO partner-led locally resourced, holistic program equips young marginalized women to become earners, leaders, and changemakers.
What We Do
WEP equips NGO partners with a proven, scalable career-readiness program that combines sisterhood, an extended network, experiential, project-based learning, and mobile technology, enabling young women to pursue and sustain careers of their choosing.

Our Approach
In many under-resourced communities, young women lack the role models, guidance, skills, and opportunities to pursue careers. With women representing half of India’s population but only one-fifth of its workforce – a pattern mirrored globally – the need is urgent.
Our Solution
The WEP Leadership Academy prepares young women to lead and succeed. Through skills training, career exploration, hands-on projects, and mentorship—supported by our mobile-first platform—students build confidence, agency, and career readiness.
The Impact
4,000+ alumnae are working as teachers, IT technicians, nurses, police officers, entrepreneurs, and more—leading change in their lives, families, and communities.
