In rural communities in emerging markets, where most women are engaged in the informal economy, women often lack the agency, access to education, digital skills, financial resources, and support systems to scale their small business.
WHEN serves as a financial broker, working with local and international organizations that equip women health workers and agriculture workers with technical expertise and essential business skills to empower them as entrepreneurs. Recognizing the pivotal roles these women play in their communities, WHEN is deploying technical assistance capital to scale comprehensive training programs that blend sector-specific knowledge with entrepreneurial acumen. Through workshops, mentorship, community building, and access to resources, participants learn advanced techniques in healthcare delivery or sustainable farming practices while gaining proficiency in financial management, marketing, and business development. WHEN fosters a supportive environment where women can innovate, establish their enterprises, and contribute to local economic growth.
