Mission: Blessons for Women provides free mentorship, educational workshops and wellness clinics for all women, in addition to scholarships to disadvantaged, low-income women who are 25 years or older and who have had their higher education interrupted due to challenging life lessons such as; cancer, mental illness, physical or emotional abuse, sex trafficking or who are first generation female immigrants.

"When you're able to view painful lessons as blessings, they become blessons."- Founder, Blessons for Women
At Blessons, our goal is that no woman should have to give up on completing her higher education and/or training due to challenging life lessons. Team Blessons helps our charity to continue in providing free services for women and make a difference for many women who have had to put education, training for a new skill or trade and professional development on hold and now seeking support through educational assistance in the form of scholarships towards an accredited trade, vocational or tech school/program.
Why Women?
Our Values: We believe that:
Women need to be treated with dignity, respect and honesty,
Women deserve to be happy and healthy,
Women should be empowered and self-sufficient,
Women should explore and develop their spiritual side,
Women deserve to learn and work together to develop their SOCIAL, SPIRITUAL and ECONOMIC POTENTIAL.
Intercultural exchanges, break down stereotypes, expand horizons and raise consciousness,
If you educate a Woman you educate a Family, Community is essential to personal growth and in fostering women as agents of change.
Blessons mission is meant for women who have a vision to succeed in spite of obstacles.The most important aspect for many women is their family. This is especially true if they happen to be older women. For ladies who have taken time to raise a family either before they entered college or sometime after they did, returning to school to better themselves and their job prospects can become expensive in a hurry.
One of the main reasons why many non-traditional female students cannot finish is due to experiencing challenging life lessons including financial hardship. Scholarships for returning students are in need and not many exist.
