WomenLead is a 10-month-long fellowship programme. Interested candidates can register for the programme by October 3. Those interested in learning more about how to become a part of this transformative new programme are encouraged to visit vitalvoices.org/program/womenleadindiafellowship/. The fellowship aims to bolster the leadership capacity of female stimuli of social change in any of the following sectors:



Education: Highlighting inequalities in access to Early Childhood Care and Education, primary, secondary, and higher education across gender, geography, income, and social group- enhancing the quality of academic services imparted across all levels and developing educational institutions.



Arts, culture, and heritage: Preserving and boosting India’s artistic side, culture, and heritage, advancing the knowledge of Indian arts, culture, and heritage domestically and globally, supporting and creating art and culture appropriate to the younger generation.



Rural modification: Developing sustainable and holistic resolution to address the main development issues of rural areas, such as water scarcity, economic empowerment, ecology, women empowerment, governance capacity of local organizations, and nutrition security.



Sports for development: Building leadership skills and overall personality among the youth in India by using sports as a medium to promote lifelong learning and expanding access to sports in rural and marginalized communities.



Innovative and collaborative women leaders with a minimum of three years of work experience enacting social change in their communities in one or more of the sectors mentioned above, those driven by a clear sense of mission and who are committed to improving the condition of women and girls who are committed to transparency and good governance.



The fellowship programme will offer tailored leadership capacity building and skills development to 50 women leaders selected to participate in the inaugural cohort. Selected fellows will also aid from mentoring support and peer-to-peer engagement.



Nita M Ambani, Founder Chairperson, Reliance Foundation, stated that we believe in the creative and collective power of women to empower not just themselves but also their families and communities. When women depend on women and grow together, they build a network and system of leadership that can help modify the world around them. It is our mission to guide and sustain this leadership amongst women. The WomenLead India fellowship powered by Vital Voices and Reliance Foundation is an essential step in encouraging inspirational women leaders who will be at the forefront of driving social change in India.



Alyse Nelson, Co-Founder, President & CEO, of Vital Voices, stated that every problem-solver needs to sustain a network, and we aim to be that for these women leaders by making a long-term investment in both the woman and the important work that she is doing to empower the people of India and beyond. She added that Vital Voiced is thrilled to collaborate with Reliance Foundation to make this investment in India's upcoming generation of women leaders.



The WomenLead India fellows will be mentored based on their previous experience on one of the following tracks- Social Sector Leaders, Economic Empowerment and Entrepreneurs, and Changemakers. The 10-month fellowship serves as just the beginning of a relationship between fellows and the extensive network of women leaders and global influencers who make up the Vital Voices and Reliance Foundation networks.
