Women'S Worldwide Web (W4)

Vision W4 is working towards a more peaceful, fair and sharing world — a world in which women, men, and children everywhere are able to live dignified lives, free from the harms of poverty and the violation of their human rights. W4.org is the first crowdfunding, crowdsourcing platform in Europe dedicated to girls’ and women’s empowerment, in both developing and developed countries. Mission W4 connects a global, cross-sector community of platform users (individuals, companies, organisations) with local projects that are driving on-the-ground change for girls, women and their communities at the grassroots level. The W4 platform enables users to contribute — financially, through crowdfunding and/or in-kind, through (e-)mentoring and the sharing of skills — to innovative grassroots girls’ and women’s empowerment projects around the world. Our online portfolio of approximately 90 field projects covers diverse fields: education, training, healthcare, financial services (microfinance and crowdfunding), access to information and communication technologies, culture and the arts, and the environment. Model W4 enables individuals, companies and organizations to make informed, effective and rewarding financial contributions to grassroots girls’ and women’s empowerment projects around the world via our platform. Our team is committed to transparency, accountability, efficiency and impact! W4 guarantees the thorough and transparent monitoring and reporting of the impact (social, environmental, economic) of every financial contribution (individual or corporate/institutional), whatever the amount. We send individual and corporate donors detailed impact reports, with frequent intermediate updates in addition. Our impact reporting enables every donor to appreciate the quantitative and qualitative impact of his or her giving and to see how it is positively changing, and even saving, lives and helping girls and women, their families and communities to thrive.
