WONDER supports women and girls to exit poverty for good - through the knowledge, skills, networks, and confidence to build independent, self-directed lives, and bring others with them.
We work through trusted local partners who understand their communities. We do not deliver programmes ourselves; we fund and strengthen the organisations that do. Our model is mentoring-led economic mobility: helping women and girls not just acquire skills but recognise their own worth and act on it.
Since 2012, we have reached 165,000 women and girls through 35 partners in 25 countries. In 2025 alone, we reached 20,500 people. Of graduates tracked, 75% more than doubled their income. 90% are already contributing to their communities.
We are a small, focused team. Decisions are made quickly, ideas are tested in real time, and the people we fund see the difference in months, not years.WONDER Foundation is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. As our office is based at the Baytree Centre and our work brings us into contact with children and families, all roles are subject to safer recruitment practices, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

By joining the WONDER Foundation YPAB, you will build leadership skills and network with other driven young professionals and philanthropists in London.
