Marketing and Research Coordinator

Sandhya Chari, Graduate Student, SIPA, Columbia University

Sandhya is managing WEP’s Google Ads campaigns to optimize our online presence. Search for “Women’s Education Project” online and see our ads pop up in the right hand column. This summer, she is writing a paper about women’s higher education to be published online by WEP in Fall 2009.

Sandhya has a passion for development work in South Asia, and strongly believe that education plays a vital role in development and breaking the poverty cycle. She has personally seen and met with many women in India who would have a much better chance at life if they had access to programs like Women’s Education Project.

Team WEP and Blog

Natalie Rose, BA, New York University

Natalie is helping to produce and diversify WEP’s multi-media for fundraising purposes and building awareness online. A WEP blog contributor, she posts about women’s education, health care, and development in India as well as interviews with area experts and updates on WEP projects. Check out WEP’s updated multi-media projects like slide shows and relevant videos.

Natalie found her passion for non-profit media and film production in college; a professor at NYU took her to India to produce a film about a children’s foundation in the holy town of Haridwar, North India, advancing the woman’s education movement there. She now returns yearly to volunteer at the foundation’s orphanage as well as to produce multi-media projects for various non-profits.
