Women for Change is a committee of The LBW Trust.

Women for Change focuses on providing access to tertiary education to young women from developing nations who would not otherwise have this opportunity. 
Women for Change was formed in 2016 and since that time has supported hundreds of young women to achieve their goal of a tertiary qualification, a good job and a better life. Many of these young women are already becoming leaders in their community and some have the potential to become leaders in their country or internationally.

The LBW Trust’s Women for Change Committee supports education for young women globally.

Since 2017, they’ve partnered with Kakenya’s Dream in Kenya, empowering Maasai girls through education.

In 2023, Women for Chnage began supporting 20 young women in Mumbai with the SPRJ Kanyashala Trust, providing subsidised education.

In Nepal, they work with Pat Price to offer college-level education through the Heartland Academy. They also partner with Teach Her, aiding orphaned young women in India and Nepal.
