Welcome to SHEforSHE Foundation

In a world where women often face unique challenges, the SheforShe Foundation aims to be a beacon of hope and a reminder that no woman has to face those challenges alone. We are more than just a foundation—we are a declaration of sisterhood, a commitment to empowering one another, and a celebration of the strength that comes from unity.

At SheforShe, our mission is clear: to empower young women by equipping them with the tools, resources, and support they need to turn their dreams into reality. We’re here for the woman who feels like help is out of reach, for the dreamer who just needs that one opportunity to shine, and for every
woman in between. Together, we aspire to uplift and support each other, embracing the spirit of solidarity that connects us all.

Letter from the Founder & CEO

Yvonne Ede | Founder & CEO, SheforShe Foundation

Dear SheforShe Community,

As I write this letter, my heart swells with gratitude and a bit of humor about the journey that led me here. I’ve always had this drive to see women thrive—it’s like an indescribable force that’s been with me forever. I’m not sure how to label this drive, but it’s always been there. I understand that various factors can influence this thriving or even halt it altogether, but my passion for supporting women has never wavered. For years, I’ve wanted to motivate and uplift my fellow women with whatever resources, encouragement, or prayers I have. I’ve pondered these thoughts, asked my Maker tough questions about the “how” and “why” of this passion, and marveled at why helping women brings me such deep fulfillment. You should see the enthusiasm with which I fill out forms for webinars or events that empower women—whether virtual or in-person, I’d risk it all to attend and then come back excitedly sharing what I’ve learned with my friends.

As the years have passed, my passion has only grown clearer and more refined. Even now, I don’t write to you as someone who has it all figured out or who has conquered every challenge. I come as a kindred spirit, ready to say “yes” to God’s call and use what I have to make a difference. This endeavor is not born out of perfection but out of obedience to God’s plans for my life—a leap forward despite lingering doubts. I’ve learned that purpose has a way of taking up residence in your heart without asking for permission.

In a world full of unique challenges for women, SheforShe aims to be more than just a foundation. It’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the strength found in unity, and a space where no woman has to navigate her journey alone. We are a declaration of sisterhood—a commitment to empowering each
other and celebrating the strength that comes from standing together. Our mission is simple yet profound: to equip young women with the tools, resources, and support they need to turn their dreams into reality. Whether you’re seeking that crucial opportunity or feeling that support is just out of reach, we are here for you. Together, we strive to uplift and support one another, embracing the solidarity that binds us.

SheforShe is a rallying cry for women to unite, share their stories, and stand by each other through every personal and professional journey. We’re not just building a network; we’re creating a vibrant community where every woman can thrive, where meaningful connections are made, and where we can drive positive change together.

Our vision is to build a resource-rich community where women are empowered to pursue their dreams, grow together, and achieve success in all areas of their lives. We are committed to fostering a sisterhood that stands strong in every aspect of life, especially within the business and professional realms. We believe in the transformative power of women supporting women, and together, there is nothing we cannot achieve.

I stand with you, not as someone who has reached the destination yet, but as a fellow traveler on the path of continuous growth, marked by both triumphs and tribulations. I stand with you to partner with God to help you thrive.

With unwavering belief, love, and support,

Yvonne Ede| Founder & CEO, SheforShe Foundation
