The Women?s Education Project (WEP), founded by New York-based, ZOE TIMMS has identified 273 students, alumnae, and their families who have suffered illness, death, and employment loss. These families will continue to face hunger, health problems, limited access to resources, and unemployment even as the pandemic lessens. The students and alumnae are young women who were once eager to pursue careers, now have few opportunities. Even some members are migrant workers returning to their homes.

WEP with its Covid 19 relied initiative will distribute sanitation, dry ration parcels, kitchen garden seeds, chickens, and safety information to these families of five for INR 2000 per month ($27.00 per month). It will also assist these ambitious, young women to become economically independent. The young women will attend WEP's Ripple Effect Certificate Program where they will learn to make masks and sanitary pads, training on sustainable activities (kitchen gardens and chicken rearing), and dissemination of critical public safety information and livelihood activity knowledge.

The WEP support will enable students to remain (remotely) in the WEP program and school/college; trained students relay information on COVID, kitchen gardens, and poultry rearing to protect and inform their families, neighbors, and communities; and kitchen gardens and live poultry provide ongoing sustenance and introduction to entrepreneurial activities.

About Women Education Project

Women?s Education Project (WEP) prepares women to become economically independent leaders. WEP partners with girl-focused NGOs to provide its Leadership Academy, where young, vulnerable women, (ages 15-24), find their confidence, explore their interests and opportunities and acquire job-ready skills to pursue them ? within a supportive community of peers, mentors and role models.

The Leadership Academy?s diploma-granting curriculum of skill-building, vision-expanding experiences, field trips, guest speakers, mentors, workshops, internships, training programs, and courses prepare students to develop the leader within and become economically independent, many pursuing a viable career of their own choosing

Upon completion, those wishing to become an entrepreneur or pursue a career are introduced, through the Academy?s Next Step program, to training programs, colleges, and other opportunities.

All graduates may join the Alumnae Sisterhood to meet peers and mentor new students. WEP is always ready to assist alumnae according to their needs.
