By establishing field projects across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the United States, and Europe, W4 works to ensure the protection of girls' and women's human rights and girls' and women's access to the constituents of development: in particular, access to technology, healthcare, schooling, earning opportunities, the exercise of their rights, and political participation.

W4 enables platform users to give financially to grassroots projects and to offer non-financial support by contributing their skills and expertise.
W4 explains on its website: "The e-Mentoring program has been developed in response to several important global trends: The immense opportunities to leverage ICTs: connecting e-Mentors and e-Mentees; enabling the contribution of skills/expertise and the completion of work across geographical boundaries; The need of our grassroots field projects for support, skills, and know-how to assist in the start-up/scaling-up or running of their operations; The desire of "social investors" (members of the general public or company employees) to make rewarding contributions by sharing their skills, in addition to having a financial impact.
W4 has worked hand-in-hand with several companies and institutions, including the clothing brand Comptoir des Cotonniers[5] and the RAJA-Danièle Marcovici Foundation[6] W4's most recent sponsor (since January 2014) is Parisian clothing brand Pablo which teamed up, in Fall 2014, with W4 Ambassadress, French actress, and model Clémence Poésy to design a printed t-shirt that reads, "The Mighties – Live ‘n Loud at W4", illustrating both women's resourcefulness and strength, as well as the importance of amplifying women's voices and voicing support for girls' and women's empowerment around the world.
