Womens Campaign International

We Empower Women to Change the World

Women’s Campaign International (WCI) is a not-for-profit organization that provides women around the world with the resources and tools they need to actively engage in public advocacy, market, and political processes. Our key values of collaboration, empathy, inclusion,and sustainability guide our commitment to creating a model for success that establishes long-lasting impact.

Women Are the Future

And by focusing on WCI’s four key pillars of change: entrepreneurship, public advocacy, public health, and international relief, women and girls can transform their own lives and their communities.

01

Entrepreneurship

A core pillar of WCI’s focus is entrepreneurship. We provide women… and girls with training to develop the leadership and advocacy tools that they need to thrive as business leaders in their communities. You can make a difference no matter where you come from or who you are. We help young girls realize personal power and encourage them to set high expectations for themselves through our Girls Advocacy and Leadership Series (GALS). The 18 - week program teaches participants life skills and provides them with the opportunity to learn from local women leaders and create advocacy campaigns to address community issues. more less

02

Public Advocacy

Every girl has a voice. WCI is committed to ensuring that every girl… knows that her voice is important no matter her age or status, and encourages them to become involved in civic engagement activities like voting, advocating for change , and volunteering in their communities. WCI’s political participation training is credited with doubling the number of women in Parliament in Malawi. The effort led to our African First Ladies’ Initiative, which trained First Ladies in 18 African countries to build the capacity of their offices to be able to develop and implement sustainable projects in their countries. more less
