We are a women-led, not-for-profit network dedicated to driving meaningful global change by harnessing the power of learning, and leading with evidence-based, feminist approaches.
We shape policies, raise standards, and influence individuals, organisations, and systems across humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding sectors, ensuring that the voices of marginalised communities are heard and prioritised.
At the core of our mission is the belief that learning solutions should empower individuals and communities, nurturing equity, and resilience. We are dedicated to creating learning environments that do not exploit the vulnerabilities of those we seek to support but instead contribute to sustainable and meaningful change.
As a not-for-profit social enterprise, we prioritise equitable partnerships and collaboration, recognising the unique strengths of the consultants and organisations we work with. We share power purposefully, creating space for others to lead and contribute to achieving our collective goals in a way that is rooted in fairness, solidarity, and mutual respect.
Fostering collaboration for long-term impact
We collaborate to understand unique needs. Dedicated to long-term impact and sustainability, we empower individuals, organisations, and the sector for sustained positive changes, contributing to long-term development.
Pursuing innovation
While we ground our solutions in robust research, we actively explore and improve our approaches, embracing a more nuanced, balanced and holistic learner-centred approach.
We highly value practical, problem-centred collaborative learning experiences that resonate with real-world challenges. Our framework is aligned with Social Learning theory, emphasising the significance of social interactions, observations, and modelling in the learning process.
Accountability and integrity
We uphold the principles of accountability and integrity in all our interactions. We measure our performance, actively seek feedback, explain our choices, and communicate openly our decisions.
We relish constructive debate to reflect on and learn from both our successes and mistakes, embracing new ideas.
Humility
We lead with empathy and open minds, acknowledging our vulnerabilities and valuing strengths within ourselves and others. We recognise that fostering positive change requires us to engage in difficult conversations. Addressing issues of racism, equality, diversity, and inclusion necessitates a willingness to listen, learn, and adapt – integral to our commitment for ongoing growth.
We purposefully work with individuals of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and experiences, and are dedicated to fostering a learning environment where everyone can thrive, contribute, and lead.
We take pride in being a women-led feminist organisation, actively contributing to the broader agenda on gender equality as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals.
In our partnerships, we actively seek organisations who share our values, and advocate for policies and practices that champion diversity, equality and inclusion.
Recognising the historical context and power dynamics that shape learning environments, we promote diverse perspectives to challenge colonial legacies, and amplify voices that have been historically marginalised.
