“AI is the tool, and women are the power—together, they’ll transform the future.” – Wendy Diamond
The Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking Global AI Economic Education Empowerment Program for Women Entrepreneurs. This transformative initiative is designed to empower millions of women worldwide by equipping them with essential AI skills. WEDO aims to build confidence, foster innovation, and help bridge the gap toward gender equality in the digital age.
Tailored to support women from all corners of the globe, especially those facing financial and technological barriers, this program provides the opportunity for participants to start or expand their businesses. Over the course of an 8-week program hosted on the LearnWorlds platform, participants will acquire AI skills that can revolutionize their entrepreneurial ventures and set them on a path to success.
Wendy Diamond, the driving force behind WEDO and founder of LDP Ventures, shared her vision: “Our mission is to empower women with the tools they need to succeed in today’s digital economy. By providing AI skills to women entrepreneurs, we are not only helping them scale their businesses but also making a positive impact in communities globally. This program goes beyond education—it creates opportunities for economic independence and catalyzes innovation.”
The course is led by top AI experts from MIT, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon, as well as prominent entrepreneurs, including:
WEDO’s program ensures accessibility for all participants through live virtual sessions, self-paced modules, and easy-to-understand resources. Designed to accommodate women from diverse backgrounds, the program recognizes that many participants may not speak English as their first language, have limited internet access, or rely on mobile devices. By the end of the program, participants will have the skills to leverage AI to enhance their businesses and thrive in a competitive digital marketplace.
Angela Mikiri, WEDO’s Zimbabwe Ambassador, expressed her enthusiasm: “This program has been a game-changer for women here. It’s empowering them to break barriers and start businesses with the confidence that they can succeed, despite the challenges they face. This is more than education—it’s hope, opportunity, and empowerment all rolled into one. The impact is already evident, and we’re only just beginning.”
The program has already seen significant success, with 551 women enrolled in the beta phase in Zimbabwe. WEDO’s global goal is to educate 1,000,000 women through the AI Empowerment Program, striving to close the gap between opportunity and access, ensuring women worldwide can fully participate in the digital economy, regardless of financial or technological constraints.
Wendy Diamond concluded, “We believe that by providing these essential AI skills, we are not only helping individual women succeed but also driving broader economic development in communities that need it most. WEDO’s AI Empowerment Program is the key to unlocking the potential of millions of women entrepreneurs, ensuring they are not left behind in the rapidly evolving digital world.”

In commemoration of its 10th anniversary, Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) unveils a profoundly impactful initiative that has already left an indelible mark on the lives of young, underprivileged, disabled girl students from The Riverview School 277Q in Queens.

WEDO’s visionary initiative has provided exceptionally talented students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the chance to create unique artworks honoring esteemed women entrepreneur luminaries. These extraordinary works of art, serving as lifetime achievement awards, were unveiled during an inspiring and motivational WEDO Pioneer Award ceremony at the United Nations on November 17, 2023.

Together, they aim to continue cultivating this powerful partnership to create lasting impact and empower underrepresented voices in the arts.
A significant moment unfolded as the heartfelt creations by these children adorned the ‘Survivor Tree’ at the World Trade Center Memorial on November 8th, symbolizing their aspirations for peace and paying tribute to those affected by acts of terrorism. This act of art and compassion conveyed a resounding message of unity and empathy, resonating deeply with all who witnessed it.
