About:

DIWA Capacity-building Program is a three-month long online capacity building program made possible by our partnership with S&P Global Foundation. This program will bring together 25 Women Social Entrepreneurs (WSEs) on a holistic learning journey that empowers them to create stronger impact, all while establishing a community of determined WSEs in ASEAN.

If you are a WSE who wants to build their capacity, deepen their impact, and be part of a community of strong female leaders, apply to be a part of our DIWA program. Join us in our movement of empowering female leaders through increasing their confidence and fostering community.

Objectives of the program:

To enable and empower Women Social Entrepreneurs in creating an "Everyone a Changemaker" world through:

Nurturing the skills, knowledge, and leadership of WSEs through DIWA capacity-building programme

Generating awareness and interest in the role and impact of women in making "Everyone a Changemaker" movement

Growing an ecosystem of partners and network of sustaining support for WSEs.

The value of this program is further enhanced by a close-knit community of WSEs who are dedicated to being Changemakers in ASEAN. We need an army of women changemakers to solve pressing problems in ASEAN. This community will provide support and friendship to make this journey of creating systemic change less lonely.
