About the CARE-WWF Alliance

The Alliance works within the intersection of climate change solutions and programming that strengthens the power and determination of women in areas impacted by climate change.

Sowing Change

Powered by the CARE-WWF Alliance, Sowing Change is a livelihood-to-leadership initiative that provides access to resources and skills for young women to generate income through nature-based enterprises and lead their communities to identify and implement local solutions to climate-induced challenges.
