Four Pillars of SWAN: Health, Education, Leadership, and Prosperity (HELP)

 

  • Health describes access to basic health care and the construction of health centers.
  • Education encompasses children’s scholarships, construction of schools, and materials necessary for children’s success.
  • Leadership describes the roles women can take on in society through financial independence.
  • Prosperity speaks of an ideal society as a whole once the other three pillars have taken hold.
