Dear GWI Supporters,
Graduate Women International (GWI) sincerely thanks our donors for supporting the Girls’ Education for Brighter Futures project. Your contributions enabled practical, locally led education initiatives and sustained GWI’s international advocacy for the rights of women and girls.
The 2025 Year at a Glance showcases GWI's achievements and highlights the programs and advocacy efforts enabled by your support. We invite you to explore how your contributions make a global difference. Click HERE to discover the power of your ongoing support.
In 2025, donor support strengthened advocacy for girls’ right to education, reinforced National Federations and Associations, and supported targeted initiatives addressing gender-based violence and access to skills development through the Bina Roy Partners in Development (BRPID) programme.
The recent round of BRPID projects came from GWI affiliates in Uganda, El Salvador, Nepal, Senegal, and Egypt, Turkey, and your support fuelled their work. Egypt improved health through nutrition and education; Uganda trained participants on making reusable sanitary pads; Senegal reforested trees and promoted recycling; El Salvador trained women in AI tools; Nepal offered literacy and savings courses; and Turkey empowered female students as role models. These projects, now completed with your funding, have left a lasting impact for thousands of beneficiaries, strengthening affiliates’ capacity. We encourage all GWI donors to read the 2025 final project summaries HERE. The 2026-2027 Call for Applications is open now and your donations will support these new projects.
In 2026, GWI will continue supporting educational programs and international advocacy resources to overcome barriers to education, building a future where women and girls can learn, lead, and thrive.
With sincere appreciation,
Stacy Dry Lara and Mila Metiver
GWI Executive Director and Intern (respectively)
