The vision of WKP:  Achieving Gender equality through women empowerment

The focus of WKP’s vision:

Achieving and implementing WKP’s values: love, effectiveness, transparency, sustainability and performance.

These values are to be implemented in all aspects of WKP’s services, such as micro-enterprise development (MED), community development (CD), and Business Development Services (BDS), to achieve gender equality and the transformation of economics, society, culture, politics and law in the community.

The missions of WKP

WKP’s missions:

• To develop culture and value in supporting gender equality.
• To improve the knowledge and skill of women.
• To empower women by developing their potential for the improvement of their quality of life and to reach the sustainability of themselves, their families, and their environment.

The basic factor influencing the missions of WKP is the limited understanding of gender equality in the community, especially in the community’s daily life.  The facts show that the limitation of women’s knowledge and skills in Bali are particularly caused by the strong patriarchal culture and religious values understood by the community. WKP provides its empowerment services, aiming to reach sustainability and a quality of life improvement for the clients, their families, and the environment in which they live in.

• Runner up of Indonesian Best NGO for the year 2004
