Our Collaborators
150+ Strong
At Empowering Young Women, our work is built on generous collaboration and partnership. Our ecosystem rests on two powerful pillars:
Impact Risers
Supporters and advocates who give their time, voice, and heart to make education in Africa a lived reality — including our Women of Pride (WoP) and Champions — whether by enabling programmes, supporting fundraising, volunteering at events, spreading EYW's voice through their networks, or contributing as individual donors.
Action Partners & Allies
The companies and universities that walk alongside us, turning shared values into impact through funding, co-created education programmes, employee engagement, and long-term institutional partnership.
Together, they form a global community of more than 150 volunteers, partners, and allies who rise, act, and grow alongside EYW, turning shared values into visible impact for the young women we serve.
Alumni Community
900+ Young Ambassadors
"We rise together. We lead together." — EYW Alumni Community Philosophy
Our Alumni are the living legacy of EYW — young women and men who carry our mission forward with purpose, courage, and heart. As a growing community of more than 900 Young Ambassadors, they step from learning into leadership, strengthening their skills, expanding their confidence, and returning that growth to their communities, schools, and careers.
Through programmes, events, certifications, and real-world experiences, our Alumni continue to rise together, lead together, and spark possibility for the next generation.
