Women Impacting Social Enterprise (WISE) Fellowship is our flagship program that has a vision of building a community of learning and support community based enterprises in ASEAN, to get them funded. We work together to strengthen social enterprises as they work to overcome the downsides of the pandemic and also help end poverty in the lives of so many.
WISE Program |
This is not a typical accelerator, workshops or mentorship program but a path to getting funded: we stand for building deep, long-standing relationships through authentic interaction and work on actual business needs to help them get funded. We do this so as to amplify the work of marginalised women and indigenous SMEs across Southeast Asia.

Women reinvest 90% of their earnings back into their communities, while men reinvest ~30%.* The women selected for the ASEAN WISE Fellowship particularly demonstrate this by aggregating impact: they help other women earn an income, who in turn reinvest their earnings into their communities. Women are key drivers to ending poverty and our believe in this very value led us to choose these women-led social enterprises as our fellows.
These women-led enterprises lead our society towards a sustainable future by ensuring that their organisations are environmentally friendly by sourcing eco-friendly materials. Additionally, they direct their revenues to help their communities, and the welfare of their employees are taken into consideration. Working with them has allowed us to admire their work and their passion for what they do. Presenting our fellows, and their efforts.
