Decades of Local Impact for Women

For over 25 years, we have empowered women and girls in Central Solano County with education, mentorship, and practical pathways to economic independence.

Our Core Values

Our years of experience working with women and girls has taught us that education is the key to unlocking economic empowerment of the world’s women and girls. When women and girls are educated, they have opportunity, choice and power to make healthy decisions for themselves and their families.
