We then develop these women as leaders so that they may play an active role in empowering their communities.

Our Projects
Teaching women how to fish, rather than giving them fish
Borrowing from a Chinese proverb, Women of Will empowers women to initiate and sustain their own small businesses, rather than providing handouts. The women are given financial assistance of RM2000 to help them initiate small business ventures and attain an independent livelihood income. The amount is repaid on a weekly basis, interest-free.
Educate a woman & you educate a family
Our programmes are aimed to empower women by providing them with Entrepreneurship and Vocational skills training whilst supporting them with Business Coaching.
When women participate in the economy, everyone benefits
Women Of Will runs projects that develop the lives of disadvantaged women in Malaysia by giving them an opportunity to be empowered and self-sufficient.
