WIN Fund - Empowering Women Worldwide
WIN’s Women Development Fund and Initiative provides
scholarships, training sessions and supports specific projects we feel can
really help improve lives. We are conscious of our global responsibility and
interconnectedness, and we know we are stronger when we join together. To be
really global, we share. Since its inception, WIN’s philosophy has been to
donate 3-5% of our income each year to women’s causes. In addition, a few
individuals and companies have contributed to the fund. WIN also provides an
employee to handle visa applications and administration linked to international
travel for scholarship winners. Despite our small size we have awarded more
than 1000 scholarships and supported numerous initiatives. We would like to
give you the opportunity to make a difference by making a contribution.
2018 Projects
WIN Girls,
India (continuation of support)
The WIN Girls
Project awards scholarships to deserving students to allow them to benefit from
higher education for a minimum period of 3 years. During this period, girls are
provided with college fees and small stipend each month for books and study
materials. Each scholarship holder undertakes to reach out to at least 10 other
girls every year and encourage them to understand the benefits of study, not
getting married too young, and helping others in society. A donation of just
€350 to the WIN Fund will enable one Indian girl to receive higher education.
Ladies Circle, Cameroon (continuation of support)
Since 2008,
in partnership with Anne Pelagie Yotchou Tzudjom from Ladies Circle, we have
been sponsoring the organisation of the WIN Conference Forum Cameroon - a
platform that brings together around 100 women and men of all generations for
three days of learning, fun, sharing of experiences, good practices and
networking for the advancement of women and their social and economic
development. The main goal has been to develop the potential of women and young
women, without any discrimination in social status, so that they can become the
main actors of their own development and help develop their families, their
communities and their organisations.

vulnerable girls and young mothers in Kenya. Working to ensuring that every
