This study aims to evaluate the impact of the Women Economic Empowerment Training (WEET) program implemented by Lingkar Perempuan Global for underprivileged women aged 18–45 in the slum area of Borong, Makassar. The program was designed to develop economic skills, transform mindsets, and expand access to economic opportunities so that women can become more independent and empowered. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data obtained through observations, pre–post tests, and participant reflections during thematic training sessions and mentoring activities conducted over six months. The results indicate significant changes in self-awareness, confidence in expressing opinions, financial management skills, and entrepreneurial initiatives. These findings highlight that underprivileged women are not lacking in potential but require support in the form of safe spaces, contextually relevant training, and opportunities to grow in order to enhance their capacity and contribute to their families and communities.
