Webinar Outreach Wing Mission
”Education is Empowering"
Webinar Outreach Wing About Us
Dear Friends,
The Webinar Outreach wing was created during the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
It was an effective way of reaching out and keeping the community connected at a time when everyone was feeling confused, isolated, and concerned about their health.
It immediately caught on with our audience, allowing us to grow our community around the world and expanding our outreach.
Our acclaimed Health and Wellness experts have provided clarity, reassurance, and advice to us to this day.
We are constantly evolving and striving to meet the needs of the moment.
We are very grateful to our community partners, our ambassadors and to our audience, for their wholehearted support and enthusiasm in embracing our effort of empowering through education, the main goal of The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization.
It has been a rewarding and fulfilling journey thus far and we thank you for coming along with us.
Best regards,
Founding Member & Chairperson,
Smita Chandra

I would recommend other speakers work with the The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization if asked.”

Community Partners
Your donation is the biggest part of our budget helps us to create healthy communities through education – closing tangible gaps in delivery of information or invisible but equally critical gaps in understanding it.
Think of it as a ‘Ripple Effect’ – a drop of information that challenges the status quo and spreads in ever-widening circles to make a positive influence and generate significant results.

About TREWO
Empowering Women
“The work by WOW is very important as it deals with issues relevant to not only women but entire families in the community. These efforts provide useful information and also maintain social connectivity among people during these times of physical distancing.”
"I have been a part of the events organized by TREWO for several years now. The events give a platform to women to meet, socialize and learn from each other. These events provide a plan where women link with one another and continue to support each other during difficult times. These event are harbingers of hope, optimism and leadership. The women look forward to these events and implement the learning acquired from the events. I want TREWO to continue organizing these events and we would support you in these wonderful, exciting, and energizing events."
"A big congratulations to all of you for pulling off such a remarkable event. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have been able to participate in this wonderful initiative. Thank you for considering me, I am truly honored."
