🌍As we celebrate 20 years of impact, we’re reminded that our work doesn’t end with awarding a scholarship—it multiplies through the scholars who carry it forward in their communities through in-country Fellowship activities.

Across the countries where we serve, WMI Fellowship communities have become engines of leadership, collaboration, and local change. These scholar-led Fellowships are proof that when talented leaders are supported, they build lasting impact far beyond borders.

Here’s a snapshot of what that impact looks like today:

* 606 Fellowship members across active country communities currently driving initiatives on the ground

* 13 Fellowships reporting, with scholars organizing and leading locally

* 8 Fellowships operating with formal constitutions guiding governance and programs

* 5 Fellowships legally registered as NGOs or CBOs in their countries

Engagement has been strong and intentional:

* 49 total meetings, including 24 in-person gatherings

* Leadership meetings, elections, planning sessions, and scholar welcome events

* Spaces created for networking, professional skills development, and community building

These numbers tell a bigger story: over the past 20 years, our impact has grown not just through individual scholars—but through connected communities of leaders who support one another, strengthen institutions, and create change locally while staying globally connected.

To every WMI Scholar or Alumni who has organized a meeting, welcomed a new scholar, voted in an election, or shown up for their community—thank you. You are how our mission comes alive, country by country.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:
