At the heart of the Women’s Water Leadership Initiative is Global Grassroots’ core Academy for Conscious Change training program. Through the Academy for Conscious Social Change, women design, construct and operate their own water enterprises that serve as sustainable, social innovation hubs where women, and their communities, begin to solve complex social issues.

Conscious social change is a methodology that uses mindfulness as a design tool for solving social issues. Our unique, holistic blend of (1) inner work, (2) trauma-informed practices, and (3) a social entrepreneurship incubator provide a powerful set of resources and opportunities for women to build confidence and advance their own mindful solutions in their own communities.
