OUR WEA PROGRAMS
We assist women leaders across Indonesia in driving climate solutions
Women's Earth Alliance (WEA) believes that when women thrive, the Earth thrives.
WEA is on a mission to protect our environment, end the climate crisis, and ensure a just, thriving world by empowering women’s leadership. Since 2019, Pratisara Bumi Foundation has partnered with WEA to build an alliance of Indonesian women environmental leaders. We have organized multiple programs focusing on leadership, entrepreneurship, and impact.

This program consists of lighter capacity-building sessions designed to help alumni deepen and expand the impact of the work they have done with WEA. At the end of the program, all leaders receive a significant amount of funding to realize their action plans.
PARA PARA (EX TEPI TALKS)
PARA PARA is a series of hybrid events designed and organized by alumni as a collective learning platform dedicated to WEA leaders and their networks.
More than just a meeting, these events serve as a platform for WEA Indonesia members to gather regionally, share their initiatives, learn, and connect with a support ecosystem that can expand their impact.
