Impactful women: sustainable movement to end poverty
bE an agent of change
The "Impactful Women" gathering is the culmination event for our fellowship, a year-long incubator building capacity for women-led enterprises addressing poverty in Southeast Asia.
We are just the wind beneath her wings. Women's empowerment can be defined as promoting women's sense of self-worth, the ability to determine one's own choices, and the right to influence social change. At Angels of Impact, we understand the pertinence of supporting women-led, community-based enterprises for the greater good.
The 2021 cohort consists of 17 community-based enterprises in the creative economy (handwoven textiles, sustainable and ethical ‘slow fashion’, indigenous music) and span nine of ten ASEAN countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam).
