Why EWOP: The Need

The numbers are shocking. More women are in prison than ever before. EWOP exists because there is a pressing need to address the unique challenges these women face after they are released from prison. 

MORE THAN 700%

How much the number of women in the U.S. prison system has grown
​since 1980.

#1 IN THE U.S.

Texas now incarcerates more women in sheer numbers than any
​other state.

908% INCREASE

How much Texas' female incarceration rate has gone up since 1980 (versus 396% for the male population).

How We Make A Difference

EWOP goes into a correctional facility, where we work directly with women while they serve their sentence.

​The goal? Total transformation from the inside out.

​The journey begins with personal purpose, followed by leadership development, mentorship, and college-level entrepreneurship coursework.
 
Our program graduates leave prison ready to build their own financial and personal success. And EWOP continues to be there for them.
