Last week, our amazing programs staff, Aditi Padiyar and Sunanya Deka, facilitated two hands-on sessions for women leaders of grassroots organizations in India to strengthen their fundraising and communication skills. We’re so glad to offer this kind of targeted support that many of our partners have asked for as they navigate an increasingly complex funding landscape. From crafting strong elevator pitches to exploring AI tools that help communicate why their work matters, these sessions sparked meaningful learning and reflection.

We’re proud to see Beltila Mligo from Light for Domestic Workers speak at hashtag#CSW69, amplifying Tanzanian domestic workers’ voices globally! Founded by 15 workers in Morogoro, the group now supports 200+ members—advocating for fair wages, savings, and economic empowerment. Women First is honored to back solutions led by those most impacted by inequality. @thelightfordws #InvestinWomen#CenterUnheardVoices #EconomicEmpowerment #GenderEquality #WomenFirst (fb)
