What We Do

Our NGO Initiatives

We believe empowerment goes beyond conversation. Through targeted programs, scholarships, training, and strategic partnerships, we help women unlock their potential and achieve sustainable success.

WPEN Amazons Scholarship Initiative

Launched in Rwanda in partnership with the European Business Institute of Luxembourg (EBI), this initiative gives women access to world-class scholarship opportunities in AI, Cybersecurity, Project Management, and other future-focused fields. WPEN plans to extend the programme across all countries where it is registered and operating, helping more women gain the skills to lead, grow, and compete globally.

Mastering AI for Modern Professionals

Join WPEN for a practical AI Power Hour with Dr. Pooja Gupta, CEO of Bridging Gap Solutions Zambia, designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, students, leaders, and innovators who want to use AI confidently at work.

Hi! I am Natasha. I started practising yoga after I went travelling to India. It was wonderful to see how so many people were sitting together to start..

This inspired me to practise it, not only for my well being but also to let others know, that there is a way to take care of one’s body..outside the gym and in the open..

My passion for learning yoga did not stop with me. On 14th August, 20XX I started my own peactise..and it has been lovely..I love the fact that this has brought me closer to an awesome bunch of people…
