Women on Wings sees a world where families in rural India move out of poverty through economic development.
Our aim: co-create one million jobs for women in rural India by 2030, in partnership with Indian social enterprises and women entrepreneurship programs.
An income gives a woman a stronger social position. For her children, it means better nutrition and education which increases their chances of a better future. It is the way to break the cycle of poverty (World Bank).
Alongside our core team in the Netherlands and India, our network of highly experienced professionals - volunteer experts - share their time and talent providing pro bono tailor-made business knowledge and mentoring to Indian social entrepreneurs. By scaling these social enterprises, we co-create more sustainable jobs for rural women.
On a much larger scale, we also provide consultancy to state governments on developing their women entrepreneurship programs.
Women on Wings’ core values help us navigate our social impact journey and support our vision, shape our culture, and reflect what we value and believe:
- Living up to: with everything we do, we are committed to our goal and set high expectations, but we do what we say, and we are transparent in our work.
- Equality: our work is based on equality and respect between people. We treat any other person the way we want to be treated ourselves.
- Energetic: our people have enthusiasm and energy for the heart of the matter. We are proactive, we motivate, challenge, and inspire each other and our partners.
