CHALLENGE INEQUALITIES
THE SCHOOL CLUB
This is an 8-week program where we go into schools and support girls with their personal and educational journey. The sessions range from developing their self-confidence, mental health and mindfulness, managing social media etc. Everything we do is about teaching girls how to unlock their full power.
REMOVE BARRIERS
The Executive Challenge connects girls from under-represented communities with corporates to give them an insight and connection into the world of work.
he Executive Challenge runs over a period of a year and comprises 3 core elements namely
1) 1 to 1 meetings for each girl with an Executives
2) Six months of virtual mentorship
3) A three day team experience challenge at the corporate sponsor organisation
"This program can impact a lot of people. Hearing Aron’s struggles, passions and his journey really motivates me to pursue what I want to do. This program has made me figure out who I want to be in the future."
Chloe Chan on meeting Aron Gelbard (Founder & CEO of Bloom & Wild)
My name is Janusha Gogar, I started the year with no confidence and having no idea that the need of good communication and teamwork skill is extremely salient, I wanted to understand the world of work and The Women Association has given me a great insight and outlook on what life as someone with a job will look like. Working with McCann and EY gave me the experience needed. I was surrounded by other girls who had the same aspirations as me and were also keen on gaining experience. We worked together, building our communication skills, leadership, professionalism and time management that have now given me valuable and crucial experience and will hopefully transfer once I am actually in the real world with a career.
The project will consist of 3 events, but the main event is a 5-dav retreat which will serve as a beacon of hope for the girls amid the relentless pursuit of perfection perpetuated by social media.
In this offline retreat, girls will get the chance to rediscover their true selves without virtual expectations. This retreat will empower them to rebuild their self-esteem, and confidence, and reaffirm their self-worth.

MEET OUR FOUNDING GIRLS
Since 2021 we started a program giving 10 - 12 girls the opportunity to get further support from the TWA team and network to support them in education, whilst they support us with insights to help inform our approach.
"Being one of the founding girls is something I never imagined two years ago, but now I don't regret it at all. The day I became a founding girl changed my life. It showed me the power of one idea to help many people. Deborah, one of my role models, tackled a problem with a crazy idea and made it work, showing me that my opinions (and girls all around the world ) matter.
Looking into the future, I know that my life will be different with new connections, companions, and ideas from the support of the founding girls and executive challenge. I strongly believe the executive challenge will make a big impact on my future, and I'm excited to see it happen one day"
