My theory of change centers on the transformative power of women connecting with nature and each other. I believe that when women engage in outdoor experiences, they not only strengthen their leadership skills but also foster resilience, collaboration, and empathy. Nature serves as a powerful backdrop for personal growth and community building, encouraging women to step into their leadership roles with confidence. My unique skill lies in facilitating these transformative experiences. With a background in sports and education, I've successfully led multicultural wilderness expeditions that empower women to discover their strength and voice in a supportive environment. Our community can learn the importance of inclusivity and cooperation in leadership. By creating spaces where women from diverse backgrounds can unite in nature, we cultivate a sense of shared purpose and inspire collective action. Together, we can harness our strengths to drive positive change, promoting peace and understanding in our communities.
NEED
The biggest challenges I face in my work to achieve my mission are securing adequate financial resources and overcoming systemic barriers to participation. Funding is essential for organizing outdoor programs and expeditions that empower women and promote coexistence. Limited financial support restricts our ability to reach a wider audience and implement impactful initiatives. Additionally, addressing logistical barriers—such as transportation and access to resources—can hinder participation from underrepresented communities. Ensuring that all women have the opportunity to engage in these transformative experiences is crucial for fostering leadership and building connections. To overcome these challenges, I focus on building partnerships with organizations that share our vision and seek innovative funding solutions, including grants and community sponsorships. By strengthening our network and advocating for inclusivity, we can enhance our programs and drive meaningful change.
Call-to-Action
Our call for action is to support ULFA in Empowering Palestinians and Israelis Women Leaders! Together, we can create an impactful program that connects women in Palestine and Israel to nature, enhancing their leadership skills. By leveraging the Earth One Community’s resources and networks, we can facilitate mentorship opportunities, create enriching learning experiences, and implement effective knowledge management and resource-sharing strategies. Additionally, we can collaborate on marketing initiatives to amplify our impact and reach.
