Our Strategic Focus Areas
Women’s Empowerment
The power to change the world lies in the hearts, minds, and hands of women. Entrepreneurship and woman-based leadership in corporations are effective means of engendering that empowerment.
Literacy
Through each of our literacy projects, we provide materials that expose youngsters to topics pertaining to STEAM and to travel abroad. We ensure that students can “see themselves” in the books they read so they can find confidence in and validation of their identities – so they can get a sense of who they are and who they can become.
Travel & Study Abroad
Through our Travel / Study Abroad SFA, we encourage university-level students in the U.S. to look openly and honestly at their homeland and their culture by experiencing different cultures and how those cultures view them. We also encourage younger students to embrace any chance they may have to broaden their horizons through travel.
STEAM Education
Through our STEAM SFA, WIF intends to help young girls and women embrace and pursue STEM careers and to excel at them by developing their artistic talents to their fullest potential.
The Arts
All forms of art and culture not only advance our capacity for compassion and empathy, but also engender a measurable positive influence on education, the economies of the world, and the health and well being of our global society.
Preclinical Safety Training & Mentoring
WIF provides a full range of training and mentoring for laboratories desiring to raise awareness of best practices and increase competencies in preclinical safety assessment for their scientists and technical staff.
