WHEELS EMPOWERING WOMEN™

Being held hostage because of a lack of transportation is being imprisoned to a life of low expectations and dependency.  The privilege to drive opens the world of mobility and empowers women to seek the best opportunities in their personal and professional lives.

 

Wheels Empowering Women™ helps disadvantaged women obtain a valid driver’s license in the USA and then provides them with their first car guaranteeing them the mobility and freedom to pursue life.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Think about how much freedom driving gives the average person.  What if it prevented you from getting a job, taking your children to events, going shopping, driving to a hospital or clinic, or a hundred other reasons we can all come up with in a second that the ability to drive provides us.  Now think about not being able to drive and the lack of freedom that comes with not being able to drive.

One of the biggest benefits that driving provides a woman is confidence and self-esteem.  This brings self-sufficiency, the ability to select your destiny and enabling yourself to be independent in so many aspects of your life.  In America, driving is a fundamental, a right, and a cornerstone of American life.

PROGRAM PURPOSE

Wheels Empowering Women™ (WEW) provides women who either don’t have the means or the confidence to obtain one of America’s fundamental rights, the ability to drive, giving them the ability to advance their lives in so many different ways.

I am extremely grateful for this opportunity

 

The Wheels Empowering Women program has changed my life forever by giving me the opportunity I never dreamed would be possible.  I have received my training, my driver’s license and my car and will be forever grateful to Vanesa for selecting me for this most incredible program.  I can now go to work, go to the store, take my child to the doctor and experience freedom to be a better person.

This program is the true definition of empowerment

Once in a while you come across a “miracle program” that has the power to turn charity into true empowerment.   The Wheels Empowering Women program does just that!  This program is all about action.  It takes disadvantaged women, teaches them how to drive, helps them get a driver’s license and then GIVES THEM AN ACTUAL CAR!!  It truly changes lives by providing them an once in a life time opportunity.  I am proud to part of the program and encourage anyone who wants to help women to donate to this worthy program.
