Our Story
Building a global movement based on intrinsic motivation and solidarity
In 2012 we took the road less traveled…
We had two questions:
-
How do women come out of poverty?
-
How can we make education accessible to them?
And one rough idea
Starting a school on wheels
Now, 10 years down the road …
we have enabled more than a quarter of a million women to transform their lives.
On our journey we learned a lot…
-
The real world cannot be made and is not predictable, linear and top-down in nature
-
Our dreamed results have been surpassed greatly, because we did let go of our initial approach and kept adapting along the way
-
The key is trusting and listening to the women
Devamma, a participant in our very first training group, became our guide on our journey.
Our road less traveled is characterized by...
-
Putting ownership in the hands of the women
-
Use intrinsic motivation and solidarity as engine for growth
-
Us not behaving as ‘do-gooders’ and ‘professionals’ who think we know better.
We are ambitious and aim for more…
-
10 million women
-
More countries
-
Deeper impact
-
Women owned
-
Global learning network
Honestly we don’t know exactly where the road less traveled leads to …
But what we do know is that we make a difference every single day and enjoy the ride while driving it.
