“The AWE programme has benefited many women entrepreneurs, providing them with access to education and mentorship.
During the Summit, participants exchanged knowledge and best practices, expanded their capacity, and networked to foster growth, innovation, and sustainability. The Summit will leverage US business expertise and technology to build business acumen and create stronger ties and networks among women entrepreneurs from the Indo-Pacific region.
“AWE has empowered over 25,000 women entrepreneurs worldwide since its launch in 2019. From improving artisans’ livelihoods through digital marketing to facilitating access to mental health care, AWE’s alumni has demonstrated the importance of investing in women-led businesses to achieve sustainable growth across the Indo-Pacific region,” says Mansour.
“AWE gave me the skills I needed to fulfill my vision of uplifting the livelihoods of other women in my community through my business in sustainable farming. I’m excited to network with likeminded business leaders at the AWE Regional Summit and learn innovative ways to continue growing our businesses and bring change to our communities,” she says.
