WomenLeaders India Fellowship

Launched in 2022, the Fellowship aims to empower women leaders in the social sector with the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to spearhead transformational changes in society. Through leadership development workshops, mentorship opportunities, and industry exposure, the programme helps social sector leaders and social entrepreneurs to refine their vision, build their capacity and accelerate their impact. Over ten months, the Fellowship aims to empower 50 exceptional women leaders from across India, each dedicated to driving transformative change within their communities. Focus areas include Climate Resilience, Sports for Development, Education, or Livelihood Generation at the grassroots. Fellows will work on their own innovative project aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and receive mentor and peer support. It includes both in-person gatherings and virtual leadership webinars. Selected winning projects will receive a grant award to help scale their project further.
