HQ in France, with projects in the whole World
Women’s WorldWide Web (W4) is Europe’s first crowdfunding platform dedicated to girls and women’s empowerment, in both developing and developed countries. W4 is a registered 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, and a non-profit association in France (Association «Loi de 1901»), that aims to empower girls and women to find their own solutions to driving development.
By establishing field projects across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the United States and Europe, W4 works to ensure the protection of girls and women’s human rights and girls’ and women’s access to the constituents of development: in particular, access to technology, healthcare, schooling, earning opportunities, the exercise of their rights, and political participation.
W4’s mission is to enable social investors to contribute—either financially, through crowdfunding; or in-kind, through mentoring and the sharing of skills— to innovative, grassroots girls’ and women’s empowerment projects around the world, in developing and developed countries.These field projects cover such fields as education, training, healthcare, financial services (microfinance and crowdfunding), access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), culture and the arts, and the environment. W4’s blog VOICES aims to raise awareness on the economic and development opportunity that girls’ and women’s empowerment presents.
