2025-10-30 12:30 - 14:00 (Europe/Helsinki) | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84255526926

We warmly invite you to join the Giving Women Zurich Chapter and our host partner, responsAbility, for an evening of insight and inspiration on how financial and non-financial support can empower women to build more resilient futures in emerging markets.

Workshop 2 of 6 – “Theory of Change”

Building on the “Setting the Scene” workshop, which explored how mission, vision, purpose, and strategy evolve during organisational change, this second session invites participants to take a fresh look at their existing Theory of Change (ToC). Rather than drafting a new ToC, the workshop focuses on reviewing and recalibrating what you already have. Participants will explore how shifts in the external environment, internal capacity, and organisational culture affect the relevance and feasibility of their ToC – ensuring it remains a living, practical roadmap for achieving impact in a changing world.

As Africa’s “youth quake” approaches — with the population aged 15–24 expected to grow by 42% by 2030 — finding employment is becoming an urgent challenge. Is digital training the answer? Can global job opportunities open up for these young people?
Join us online to explore how digital skills programmes are already creating pathways to employment for youth in underserved communities. Hear directly from practitioners working on the ground, as well as a researcher who will share best practices, success stories, and the challenges we must address to ensure these initiatives are effective, ethical, and scalable.

From growing pains to growing gains - Part 3 - Monitoring and evaluation frameworks

Workshop 3 of 6: Monitoring and evaluation frameworks

Building on the reflections from Workshops 1 and 2, this session focuses on translating your evolving Theory of Change into clear, realistic, and measurable outcomes through monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Rather than treating monitoring and evaluation frameworks as a rigid donor requirement, the workshop invites participants to explore these frameworks as practical tools for learning, accountability, and strategic decision-making. With insights from our expert in MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning), participants will examine how outcomes, indicators, assumptions, and risks can be aligned with organisational capacity and changing contexts—ensuring that MEAL supports growth, adaptation, and meaningful impact.

How can the Social Enterprise model help close the funding gap?
2026-02-19 12:15 - 13:30 (Europe/Paris) | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86981622639
Context

At a time when funding is increasingly difficult to secure while needs continue to rise, many organisations are under intense pressure. Migrant populations are at record levels due to conflict and climate crises, girls’ completion of primary and secondary education is declining, and access to healthcare remains a struggle. The challenges are overwhelming.
What we will explore
Thursday 19 February, 12.15pm CET (online) : Join us for an online conversation moderated by Zoya Siddiqui from Acumen, an organisation that recognised early on the potential of the social enterprise model. Together, we will explore how this approach can help organisations build more resilient, financially sustainable models.
We will highlight and hear from three grassroots organisations applying this model in the field: Aavishkaar Centre (India), Project Maji (Africa), and Womengro Initiative (Uganda). We will also be joined by the Elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalisation, which supports social entrepreneurs through its philanthropic giving, to share the funder perspective on what helps these models thrive.
Panelists
Moderator:
Zoya Siddiqui, Development and Partnerships Manager at Acumen Europe
Expert perspective:
Lisa Jean-Mairet, Executive Director, Elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalisation
Voices from the field (highlighted organisations):

Film screening - NAWI (award winner)
2026-03-21 10:30 - 12:30 (Europe/Zurich) | Cine 17, Rue de la Corraterie 17, Genève, 1204, Switzerland
Join us for a powerful morning screening of Nawi, followed by a discussion with the screenwriter, Milcah Cherotich.
This event supports FOTIS students in nine countries to access secondary education, as well as Loropio Girls High School in Turkana, Kenya, a current Giving Women Project Circle.
About the film
Nawi tells the story of a 13-year-old girl forced into marriage with a much older man in exchange for a herd of goats. Inspired by true events, it is a story of courage and what it costs when a girl refuses the path chosen for her and fights for her education.
Written by Milcah Cherotich after winning a nationwide writing competition in Kenya, Nawi has received major recognition, including an Africa Academy Award, and awards at international festivals such as Raindance (London)and the Pan African Film Festival (Los Angeles). It was also selected as Kenya’s Oscar entry (2025). This screening is an avant-première in Geneva and Switzerland, ahead of its international release in 2026.
Language: Original version (VO) with English subtitles
We look forward to welcoming you for a meaningful film and conversation.
Cannot attend?
You can still support girls’ education by making a donation to FOTIS.

From growing pains to growing gains - Part 4 - Financial planning and control
2026-04-28 18:30 - 20:00 (Europe/Moscow) | Zoom
Workshop 4: Financial planning and control – don’t fear the numbers
Workshop postponed from 31 March to 28 April
As organisations grow and adapt to an increasingly uncertain funding landscape, strong financial planning and controls are essential to ensure your mission translates into sustainable impact. Program budgeting, budget to actual reporting, understanding cost structures and cashflow forecasts help ensure that you are well informed, resources are aligned with your mission, which enable organisations to survive and thrive, becoming resilient to changing circumstances.
Building on the reflections from the previous Workshops in the series, in this workshop, we will demonstrate how financial planning can serve you better as a management and reporting tool rather than simply an administrative exercise. Participants will learn how to develop simple but effective financial tools that support growth, monitor financial performance throughout the year, and use financial insights to inform decision-making.
We will discuss how effective financial management can strengthen coordination between programme and finance teams, helping organisations identify issues early — such as overspending or misalignment between plans and resources, and reinforce the confidence of donors and stakeholders in your management by demonstrating a sound understanding of the numbers underlying your organisation.

Women Driving Climate Action (Zurich Climate Week)
2026-05-07 18:00 - 21:30 (Europe/Zurich)
Giving Women is leading a panel conversation at Zurich Climate Week.
Learn more and register on the official Zurich Climate Week site here
Climate change is not gender-neutral. Women are disproportionately affected by its impacts — yet they are also among the most powerful drivers of climate solutions.
Across sectors such as agriculture, water, energy, and biodiversity, women are already building resilience, leading innovation, and shaping sustainable systems. However, their role remains under-recognised and underfunded.
This event by Giving Women brings together key actors across philanthropy, finance, and practice to explore how we can better connect capital with impactful, women-led climate solutions — and accelerate meaningful change.
Why it matters
Despite their central role, only a small fraction of climate finance reaches women-led initiatives.
Unlocking the full potential of women in climate action is not only a matter of equity — it is essential for building scalable, effective, and sustainable solutions.
By shifting the narrative from women as beneficiaries to women as leaders and solution drivers, we can strengthen climate resilience, advance biodiversity, and contribute to more inclusive economic systems.
The panel
The event will feature a dynamic panel discussion bringing together organisations working at the intersection of climate, gender, finance and system change, including Medair, Unearthodox, and ShEquity.
The conversation will explore:

How climate change impacts women on the ground
How women are already driving nature-society or socio-environmental solutions across key sectors
How can we collectively help level the playing field for systemic transformation
What is needed to scale these solutions through innovative financing approaches

The panel will connect real-world insights with strategic perspectives, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for systemic change.
