our story
Let’s be honest, realistically, we’re not going to smash the patriarchy in our lifetime… but that won’t stop us giving it a damn good try!
The Another Way Women's Foundation was set up because we believe passionately in the power of women, and about helping women realise their worth and reach their full potential through empowerment and education.
In a largely patriarchal world, we want to help redress the balance – because we believe that by supporting projects that advance women, we benefit not only the individual but also the household and wider community as a whole.
And, if we only advance one women’s life for the better, we believe that the world would still be a brighter place!
Because we believe there is Another Way for women to live, to work, to be…
Here’s to STRONG women…
May we BE them
May we RAISE them
May we KNOW them
And… May we HELP them rise
our values
