It is with great pride that the Lise Watier Foundation presents its 2024–2025 Annual Report.
This year was marked by significant progress: remarkable growth in our impact on the women we support, high-impact initiatives, and outstanding engagement from our community.
Some of the year’s highlights include:
- The arrival of Isabelle Lajeunesse as General manager, succeeding Marie-Lise Andrade, who now serves as Cofounder, President and active spokesperson;
- The opening of a new service point in Sherbrooke to reach women in the region;
- An increase in partnerships and fundraising efforts;
- 35% of Let’s Start Up Pathway participants experienced an improvement in their financial situation within a year—compelling us to continue expanding our reach across Quebec and Ontario.
We invite you to dive into this report to revisit the year’s defining moments, explore completed projects, and truly see the impact of your support.
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who stands with us. With your help, even more women are spreading their wings. By helping them access the Let’s Start Up Pathway, you empower them to rewrite their story, gain the tools they need, and make their dreams a reality. This report is a testament to their courage and resilience, and to your powerful impact.
Together, we are creating a richer, more equitable future.
