We are delighted to announce that over 10,000 RMB was raised for the World Academy for the Future of Women over the weekend!

Last Saturday, IPWS hosted a celebratory Summer Party Brunch to help support a future for young women in China. Despite the heavy rain, we enjoyed a wonderful day at Chez Jojo, as we raised funds through a raffle for our beneficiary, the World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW), while indulging in a buffet brunch, wine and cocktails.

As we were fundraising for the WAFW, guests had the opportunity to win amazing prizes worth thousands from our 30+ raffle sponsors. A big thank you to all our incredible raffle sponsors for making the donation possible!

The World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) is a bold and daring leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that will address and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of the World Academy is to advance and accelerate women’s leadership worldwide. In addition to fundraising at the Summer Party Brunch, IPWS supports WAFW throughout the year, with one paid intern position in 2019-2020 filled by a WAFW Graduate.

Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who joined the event in support of a great cause!
