Ten women-led, not-for-profit organizations that could use your… – Women of Influence

It began in 2006 with 30 grassroots women leaders from around the globe, gathering in Mexico City with a shared mission to protect the environment, reverse climate change, and ensure a just, thriving world by empowering women’s leadership. Since then, Women’s Earth Alliance (WEA) has given rise to thousands of groups of women taking simple but profound actions to advance sustainability efforts. From saving Indigenous seeds, to planting native trees, teaching solar cooking, launching sustainable farms, providing safe water, preserving traditional knowledge, building composting toilets, and protecting land rights in some of the most resource rich and threatened regions on Earth. The WEA Accelerator provides leadership, strategy, and technical training for women leaders looking to scale their initiatives while connecting them with a global alliance of peers, mentors, and funders. The Alliance is made up of advocates, entrepreneurs, cultural practitioners, trainers, technicians, artists, and community organizers who have joined forces for a common goal to ensure the long-term health of the planet. Founded by Melinda Kramer, a passionate advocate for social justice, the environment, and women’s rights, and later joined by co-Founder Amira Dimond to expand programming and build a more robust team, the organization continues to expand and thrive in these most uncertain times.
