Our Initial Program: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs
Women comprise half of the world's population, yet significant gaps remain in both economic opportunity and participation for women in developing countries. Advancing efforts that empower women entrepreneurs in developing countries and communities helps to bridge this gap, create sustainable opportunities and foster equality.
The pioneering Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Partnership Program identifies qualified women entrepreneurs in developing countries and directly connects them with business professionals in developed countries who can help them build the network, business strategies and practices that will help them create new opportunities, fulfill their potential and achieve long-term success.
A one-on-one relationship-based approach is at the core of the Partnership Program’s philosophy — connecting women with women, providing coaching, mentorship, support, and role models for the entrepreneurs.
