The Women’s Hope Education and Training (WHEAT) Trust is a women's fund
that supports grassroots women making a difference in their communities.

Through supporting grassroots women to seek local solutions to local problems, WHEAT invests in education, training and capacity building to foster women's leadership an to enable dialogue. To achieve this, WHEAT promotes a culture of giving and follows the principles of human rights for women and of feminism.

WHEAT gives grants to women-led Community Based Organizations (CBO's) working in their communities that would not yet be able to access formal funding. WHEAT supports these CBOs when they need to learn new skills that would promote their outreach in a more professional and visible manner. WHEAT encourages CBO's to gain accountability and good governance.
