THE WORLD WE WANT FOR WOMEN
(4W)
Framing The World We Want 4 Women (f4Ws): ‘Framing the World We Want’- an initiative of the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development (CELD) seeks to transform girls’ vision statements for a better world into real-world applications, tangible actions and improvements in the lives of women in various communities around the world. The f4W is targeted at girls and young women with lofty ambitions and a dream for the future of women. It is a viable platform for contributing and orchestrating the future of women and societies in the coming decades.
It is an initiative that provides an opportunity for girls’ voices and narrative on the kind of world they want to see and participate in, to be heard around the world and become a reference point for global discussions and actions on how to work towards a future where women can thrive without stereotypical limitations.
The F4W initiative allows young girls from various disciplines to design, create and share their visions for a better world. Furthermore, by collaborating with like-minded organizations, the initiative works with the girls to virtually create the ideas behind their vision statements using cutting edge technology tools. Following the design phase, we bring our virtual concepts to life by applying them to solve real-world problems, resulting in meaningful and impactful change. We take pride in our ability to bridge the gap between ideas and action, transforming concepts into tangible outcomes.
By applying designs generated from the girls’ vision statements to real-world problems, we create lasting impact and drive positive change in the lives of individuals and communities. This approach is hinged on our understanding that true empowerment comes from practical solutions that address the root causes of inequality and provide opportunities for growth.
Join us as we transform girls’ vision statements into virtual designs to frame ‘the world we want’ and make meaningful difference. Together, we can create a future where everyone has equal access to opportunities and the power to shape their own destiny.

We select writers from the annual f4W Yearbook through a competitive process to speak at selected events hosted by CELD and partner organizations worldwide. These speakers share their experiences and perspectives, amplifying the impact of their stories and inspiring others to take action.

Panel Discussions:
We utilize a selection of stories from the f4W Yearbook, with permission from the writers, to form panel discussions at conferences and summits.

Short Skits & Media Productions:
We create short skits based on a selection of inspiring and compelling stories from the annual f4W Yearbook. These skits are promoted across all CELD Framing Worldviews (FW) Media and other media platforms, reaching a wide audience and spreading the message of positive change.
Through these approaches, we aim to ‘frame the world we want’ by sharing powerful stories, conducting research, fostering dialogue, and inspiring action. Together, we can create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a better world.
