Founded over 20 years ago, Vital Voices turns the traditional model of development on its head with a simple mission: invest in women, improve the world. With deep, individualized investments, Vital Voices seeks out creative and fearless women leaders with daring vision and proven local solutions. We then partner with them to amplify that impact and create global change.
The women leaders we work with can participate in skill-building and network development efforts in three key areas:
• leadership development and global activation
• economic empowerment and entrepreneurship
• human rights and combatting violence against women
These efforts come to life through our signature programs and individual, targeted investment approaches.
