Our October Sponsors
Our October champions sponsored the WISE Women’s Clean Cookstoves Project, a partnership between WEA and Women’s Initiative for Sustainable Environment (WISE). With their support, WEA and WISE will work with women leaders in Kaduna, Nigeria to ensure that have the access, skills and resources they need to use clean cookstoves, and build and scale their own clean cookstove businesses, allowing them to train their families and communities to adopt cookstoves.

Our November and December Sponsors
In the months of November and December, these dedicated sponsors supported the Seeds of Resilience Project. This partnership between WEA and Vanastree—a women-led seed saving collective in Karnataka, India—will ensure seed and food sovereignty and the transfer of traditional knowledge around these timelines and invaluable practices in Southern India. Through the support of our sponsors, the women participants in this training program will build and scale seed businesses, lead trainings to increase farm biodiversity and productivity, participate in demonstrations and exchanges, and build networks in their communities and beyond.
