WOMENS EMPOWERMENT INTERNATIONAL

Women's Empowerment International (WE)-a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in San Diego, CA-was founded in 2003 with an ambitious goal to disrupt the cycle of poverty for women around the world, especially those living in under-resourced, rural communities. Since then, WE has provided over $2.8 million in grant funding for women’s economic empowerment programs locally and internationally. We envision a world without poverty in which women are empowered, uplifted, and equal partners in society. Together with our donor community and funding partners, WE funds microfinance programs, small business development support, training, education, and other holistic poverty alleviation strategies benefitting thousands of women experiencing poverty around the world. WE currently has grant partners in seven countries including the U.S (in San Diego), El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Uganda.
