🎉 Celebrating 5 Years of Women Changemakers for Education 🎉
This year marked a powerful milestone for Women Changemakers for Education (WC4E) as we celebrated five years of impact, growth, and collective action. It began as a bold vision and now, has evolved into a vibrant and expanding community of fellows, partners, and allies committed to reimagining education and advancing opportunities for women and youth.
Over the past five years, our Fellows and Alumnae have launched transformative projects, forged meaningful collaborations, and driven change within their communities and across borders. Their courage, creativity, and commitment continue to affirm the importance of this movement and the power of women-led change in education.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has walked this journey with us- our fellows, mentors, partners, supporters, and friends. Your belief in the mission has been instrumental to our growth and impact.
As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead with renewed purpose and optimism. Here’s to the next five years of deepened impact, bold ideas, and unstoppable change.
