Buzz Women gives women access to the right tools, knowledge, and support to unlock the potential that’s already within them. Our movement is built on a simple truth: When women rise, they do not rise alone. Families shift. Communities strengthen. Societies tilt toward balance. And the ripple becomes a changing tide.
WOMEN DRIVING CHANGE
Together we move the world
TRANSFORMATION starts from within
MOBILE SCHOOLS for lasting change
With our buses – we call them schools on wheels – we meet women at their doorstep. Women come together in their village to learn practical skills, manage money, grow businesses, and care for their land, themselves and each other. Over time, they become confident decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in their homes and communities. This is how lasting change takes root and spreads.
On our way to 10 million women by 2032
Since 2012, more than 900,000 women have joined the Buzz Women movement. When a woman unlocks her own potential, she sets a powerful ripple of change in motion, transforming families, communities, and society at large. With every woman reached, the ripple grows stronger. Our ambition is to bring life-changing education to 10 million women by 2032.

Stef Röell, Director Trees for All
In our reforestation projects, successful outcomes depend on women’s leadership. Trees need time to grow, and women are naturally long-term thinkers. By strengthening local ownership, Buzz Women creates lasting socio-economic and environmental impact.
Sanne Schaafsma, Stichting Nieuwe Waarde
Stichting Nieuwe Waarde supports interventions and initiatives addressing problems that are significant, solvable, and neglected, contributing to a more beautiful, just, and healthy world. We are impressed by Buzz Women’s inclusive and multidimensional approach, its commitment to impact measurement, and its potential for scale.
