Deadline: 31 July 2025
The Women and Girls Education Grant program was set up over a decade ago by Westpac Fiji to support equal opportunity for women and girls through education, helping to break down barriers and create pathways for women and girls across Fiji.
Theme
- This year’s theme, “March Forward: For all Women and Girls”, calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation – youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls – as catalysts for lasting change.
