Guided by our vision to contribute to a world where all women and men have equal and full social, economic and political participation, the Womanity Foundation works to empower girls and women around the world.
Tens of thousands of girls and women benefit from the programs
we presently run in Afghanistan, Brazil, India, Israel, Morocco
and the Palestinian territories.
our projects aim to:
- promote quality education for girls and vocational training,
career opportunities and income prospects for women.
- boost women’s voices in society, politics
and governance institutions.
- protect women and girl ’s physical and psychological integrity.
We develop projects that encourage innovative, scalable and replicable
ideas with social entrepreneurs or local organisations.
we foster lasting systemic change.
The Womanity Foundation (formerly the Smiling Children Foundation)
is an independent private foundation established in 2005 and registered
in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

“womanity Foundation’s support in the areas of business development, fundraising, human resources, communication, monitoring and evaluation, and legal services will help Educate Girls scale up its work from 5,000 to 15,000 schools in the next 18 months.”
Safeena husain, founder and CEo of Educate Girls.
For more information, visit the website of the program:
www.womenchangemakers.org
WomenChangeMakers (WCM) focuses on identifying, supporting and
connecting social entrepreneurs who head established, successful
organizations that work for women’s empowerment, address systemic
gender inequalities and positively transform society. Over a period of
3 years, we help identified Fellows to develop their organisation and
expand their reach, so as to increase the impact of their work and to
accelerate positive change for women.
In August 2011, the first Fellow was selected in Brazil: Alice Freitas,
founder and CEO of Rede Asta. Alice Freitas helps women artisans from
the poorest sections of Brazilian society by training them to design and
produce handicrafts; providing them with business skills and giving them
access to the market.
In April 2012, the Selection Panel identified the first Indian WCM Fellow,
Ms. Safeena Husain, founder and CEO of Educate Girls. By involving
communities and fostering local support to girls’ education, she works
on improving school attendance and performance of girls in the State of
Rajasthan, which rates poorly in girls’ education.
The WomenChangeMakers’ model was inspired by Ashoka’s experience
and developed with Ashoka Fellows’ and staff’s expert inputs.

“As program director of the “School in a Box – Afghanistan”, but also as a father, i recognize the importance of girls’ education that was so long neglected in our country. when women receive an education, they contribute largely to prosperity.”
mohammad Zia Noori, program director of womanity Afghanistan.
Since 2007, the Womanity Foundation has supported Afghanistan’s
largest girls’ school – the Al Fatah School in Kabul – to become a model
of excellence in girls’ education (infrastructure improvements and
training). Based on this experience, the innovative “School in a Box”
program was launched in 2011 with the support of the UBS Optimus
Foundation and in partnership with Afghanistan Libre. This program
prepares 11 schools for girls (2011 to 2014) to become models for girls’
public education. Meanwhile support for the Al Fatah School continues.
The “School in a Box” program organized in 2012 teachers’ training
modules in English, Dari and Pashto languages, mathematics, physics,
chemistry, biology and information and communication technologies.
With our partner, Afghanistan Libre, we run tutoring classes for the
National Entry Exam to University; we organized sessions to sensitize the
population to the importance of girls’ education.
This effort is already benefiting 7,450 Afghan girls (and 2,550 boys)
aged 6 to 18 studying at the first 6 participating schools in Kabul,
Paghman district and Punjshir province. Meanwhile, 384 teachers and
staff are receiving tailored training to improve their competences. Plans
are being made to reach 6 more girls’ schools by 2014.

“Today, 96 NiSAA Fm is considered the 5th radio station in the Central west Bank. we give visibility to women, we raise issues linked to women’s lives and propose solutions and inspiring ideas. Recently, we were the only radio station that interviewed women candidates to the municipal elections.”
maysoun odeh Gangat, managing director of NiSAA Fm .
The Womanity Foundation, in partnership with Radio NISAA
Broadcasting Company, established NISAA FM, the first commercial
women’s radio station and website managed by women in the Middle
East, in late 2009. See www.radionisaa.net
NISAA FM caters to millions of men and women across generations,
social statuses and geographic distances by offering a platform of
cultural and social information, discussion and entertainment, and by
voicing women’s aspirations and opinions. It is presently broadcasting
online, on FM in the Palestinian territories and will be replicated in Egypt
soon.
NISAA and Womanity have commissioned the production of a radio
fiction series, where the role and rights of women in Arabic societies will
be the main theme. Mona Zaki, the number one film star in the Arabic
world, will play the lead role. The first season is due to be launched in
July 2013.

“my entering to college is the most positive thing that happened to me in 2009 because it gave me hope for a better future.”
Saadia, 15 years, former ’little maid’.
Since 2007, the Womanity Foundation has been collaborating with
INSAF, a Moroccan NGO, in the fight against the exploitation of little
girls from poor rural areas. The project facilitates the return of girls
between the ages of 6 and 12, who are exploited as maids, to their family
and to school. The girls receive support until the end of their mandatory
school years. Wherever possible, the project facilitates their access to
secondary education.
To date, nearly 200 young girls have been removed from the hard life of
domestic labour, re-integrated into their family and enrolled in school.
Through our local partner, INSAF, we also advocate to eradicate girls’
labour throughout the country.

if the world were scaled to a village of 1000 people, it would look like the following:
- 500 people are womenIt should be 510, but 10 were never born due to
gender-selective abortion or died in infancy due
to neglect (son preference)
- 167 of the women will be beaten or in some way exposed to violence in their lifetime
- 100 of the women will be victims of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime
Date: Thursday, 30 January 2014 at the Espace Hippomene, in GenevaNumber of Guests: 950 guests from Geneva and throughout Europe, exclusively invited by the Gala CommitteeGuest of Honor/Womanity Ambassador: Rosanna ArquetteTicket Price: CHF 600 per personTheme: Fire & Ice
All the benefits from the 2014 Gala will be entirely allocated to womanity’s field-based programmes
The 2014 Womanity Gala theme is the exciting contrast between Fire & Ice. Guests will experience a timeless atmosphere that is both alight and freezing, in constant motion, filled with the warmth of light and chilling beauty. This startling and magical mood prompts guests to reflect on the wonders of our world, where misery and gloom can be overwhelmed by courage and creativity - the sources of inspiration for Womanity.
The location is a unique, contemporary, high tech building, the ‘Espace Hippomene’, on one of Geneva’s historic industrial sites close to down-town.
The venue will be transformed into a marvelous world of natural elements that are Fire & Ice - two extremes inspiring contrasting emotions. The atmosphere will be created by using state of the art lighting technology, natural fire flames and fake and real ice elements.The venue will be divided into two carefully constructed spaces: the cocktail area and the dining/entertainment hall. The latter will have three different seating categories: the VIP sponsorship lounge tables encouraging a relaxed and exclusive dining, surrounded by a first circle of classical round tables and then framed by high tables. This configuration allows guests the best visibility and has an extraordinary impact on arrival.
We will continue a successful formula of dynamic catering, which allows guests to move around freely and mingle. They will experience Fire & Ice dining: from smoking hot to freezing sensations, with chilled wine and flaming cocktails… Our guests will be spoiled with a variety of dishes, which are served uninterrupted to their tables. Cocktail bars will be situated throughout the cocktail and dining area.
The evening will be buzzing with live entertainment, star performances, music, dance... and many surprises.
In order to raise funds for Womanity, we will create many ways of attracting our guests’ participation: we will stage a thrilling live auction with unique, “money can’t buy” items, conducted by Simon de Pury, and a silent auction using the latest technology of bidding machines at everyone’s discretion. There will also be many beautiful tombola prizes.
We will once again provide a one of a kind dynamic, fun and exciting experience. Besides raising a maximum of funds for Womanity, we will make this an unforgettable evening for all participants!
