WHEAT can help companies and other funds achieving their socio economic and women empowerment goals if they share our vision of women’s empowerment. Likewise, we encourage individuals to align with us and adopt the culture of giving to assist us in growing the fund, thereby strengthening our giving ability.

Companies that are not able to support financially at a certain time are encouraged to motivate their staff to consider WHEAT Trust's efforts and give to the cause.

Women are society's strength. By empowering women, we empower whole communities.
