Pan Asian Women’s Association (PAWA)
PAWA is a UK registered charity that focuses on a single purpose: to support teenage girls education in Asia. PAWA aims to bring together individuals and organisations to help support small grassroot projects that empower women through education as well as raise the profile of Asian women in UK. PAWA covers 32 Asian countries and regions that extend from Japan to Iran and Central Asia to Indonesia. PAWA is professionally managed by a dedicated group of volunteers and over 95% of income from donations and events are used effectively to offer teenage girls from deprived communities the opportunity to continue in education, learn a skill so they can be independent and in turn, able to help their families. Since its launch in 2009, PAWA has helped 23 grassroot projects in 12 Asian countries and reached over 12000 girls. PAWA holds public events as well as private events for PAWA supporters that include talks, panel discussions, festival dinners, Embassy receptions and sponsored walks.
