Nothing exists in a vacuum.


Just as our global economy and local markets are interconnected, Humanity's most pressing social and environmental challenges are inextricably linked and require whole-system solutions.


Real change requires all of us.


Empowerment WORKS engages the best of us all

to co-create a sustainable future for humanity.

Education

Empowerment WORKS' local action strategy, "7 Stages to Sustainability (7SS)" models the way nature creates - tapping into the creative force in us all:
1. Engage
2. Assess
3. Plan
4. Learn
5. Build
6. Expand
7. Sustain

  [EW's] 7 Stages to Sustainability guides us to act and measure our results.”

-Student in China, World Academy for the Future of Women


 I think that within these steps just about everything that has to be done is included. Step 7 is the culmination
– a critical joint effort.”  -Arthur H. Purcell, Ph.D., Educator, former consultant to the UN Economic Commission for Europe

“Until one sees how disorganized it is on the ground for aid workers, and trainers, and local organizations, they cannot imagine how valuable this [7SS] framework will be.”
-Heather Goodwin, Post-Tsunami Aid Worker
Collaboration

Like eco-systems, diverse communities thrive.  
EW's growing global community of Partners in Empowerment (PIE)  is comprised of six diverse social and economic sectors in synergistic action for a sustainable world.

By expanding its 7 Stage collaborative framework within and beyond  this multi-sector network, Empowerment WORKS (EW) delivers the tools grass-roots communities need (access to markets, appropriate technologies and capital) to turn local assets into global health, economic and environmental solutions.  

Through The Global Summit and other world changing on & offline forums,  EW  unites the most powerful & grass-roots citizens for a better world.
