Women’s Worldwide Web


Investing in girls' and women's potential

Description

Women’s WorldWide Web (W4) is an online crowdfunding platform aiming to promote girls’ and women’s empowerment worldwide, in cities and in rural areas, in both developing and developed countries. Harnessing the power of digital connection, W4 works to protect girls’ and women’s human rights and to promote their empowerment. Collaboratively, we work to ensure that girls and women everywhere have access to education, healthcare, economic opportunities, the exercise of their rights, and political participation—all of which benefit girls and women.
