As we enter the new year, we at Women Changemakers for Education (WC4E) would like to reflect on the accomplishments of our Fellows and Alums. Thank you, our supporters, for helping to make it all possible.


In 2024, thanks to your generosity and belief in our mission, our Fellows and Alums continued to break barriers, inspire change, and transform their communities in Ghana through innovative grassroots programs. Here are just a few highlights from this year’s journey:



Cohort 2 Graduation & 2024 Conference

This year’s conference was hosted by our 2022-2024 recently graduated Fellows and was dubbed - “Women Influencing Education and Innovation for Social Change”. There were over 100 people in attendance, and we are so proud to give our Alumnae their Certificates of Achievement for surpassing the goals they set for themselves!

 

International Women’s Day


Each year Women Changemakers for Education celebrates International Women’s Day. This year, with the theme “Inspire Inclusion”, we supported 10 IWD proposals from both Fellows and Alumnae, a 50% increase from 2023!
