Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women's Empowerment

MISSION The Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women’s Empowerment is committed to building the self-esteem and self-worth of young women and girls by positively influencing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves. VISION To enrich the lives of girls ages 7 to 17 years old with opportunities that place special emphasis on personal development and experiential learning. CORE VALUES Empowerment is essential for young women and girls to develop the skills, and acquire knowledge, information and the resources they need to achieve a high quality of life and optimum health and wellbeing. Mentorship is long term, centered in community and built around relationships between positive adult role models and young women facing challenges in their social and personal lives. Embodying responsible leadership with integrity, from a shared vision that inspires and motivates, and with the capacity to grow through change and deliver sustainable outcomes, perfects the ability to enable others to greatness. Civic Engagement is working to make a difference in communities. It is essential as young women and girls become empowered that they learn the importance of giving back and helping to build thriving communities.

The Prosperity Project

The Prosperity Project is a registered charity with a mission to identify and remove the systemic barriers and biases that impede the advancement of all women in the economy, limiting their - and Canada’s - opportunity for increased prosperity. Our 3 signature programs together create positive impact for all women, for gender equity and diversity in the workplace, and for Canadian economic prosperity. The Prosperity Project’s research initiatives identify and measure barriers to gender equity and diversity in Canadian workplaces. The Rosie Initiative directly addresses barriers by providing a platform for mentorship support for all women. We recognize that women and women of intersecting identities are met with unique barriers when it comes to building and growing a career. We apply an intersectional identity lens to our programs and the support and resources we provide.

Building Assets, Asia

Building Assets is a global non-profit volunteer organization that develops viable solutions to reduce and mitigate conflict and the resulting dependencies by working to create self-reliant communities. We believe the evidence is clear that the most effective way to help build peace is through the provision of education and skills development for girls. We strongly believe in this commitment – that a girls' education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of war and poverty. We work with our local partners to provide viable solutions with a focus on gender equality, justice and peace. A girl living in a conflict-affected area is 90 % more likely to be out of secondary school than her counterparts living in areas without unrest. Building Assets will work with local partners to provide safe and peaceful environments for young girl children to affected by conflict to study and learn beyond primary school. By providing a safe environment from primary to high school young girl children are less vulnerable to trafficking, sexual violence, or forced into early marriages. We believe that by contributing to their education by improving access through building schools, improving the quality of education through teacher training, vocational skills training, legal protection and psychosocial support and policy intervention we can improve student learning outcomes through gender-based programming. Building Assets will work with local groups and international organizations who will look at the impact of conflict through a gender lens in order to inform the development of more gender-sensitive and focused policies and programs that can help level the plying field ( hence the name ' Building Assets '), particularly through education. By providing access to education for these young girls at an early stage we can lay the foundation for a brighter future for the countries of SE Asia, and begin to prepare these young students to be the country's next future leaders.
