Welcome to the second stop on Women Strong International’s journey as ‘Defunded & Thriving’ visits two countries with women entrepreneurs who are leveraging social enterprises to offset program costs.
First, we visit Bangladesh to hear from Esrat who is advancing the Amal Foundation’s mission through chia, quinoa and pickle businesses..
Later this week, we go to Uganda to learn from Monica how a fashion business is helping GirlUp Initiative Uganda build a vibrant movement of girls & young women.
Social enterprises can be costly to launch and take years to yield results. They aren’t an easy revenue solution. But these women leaders demonstrate how mission-aligned businesses can change lives.
