Business Development Support

Creating a Sustainable Living

Women for Women International offers comprehensive business services designed to help women start and manage their own microenterprises. Women for Women International gives women access to capital and operates microcredit programs in Afghanistan and Bosnia and Herzegovina with an overall repayment rate of 99 percent.

We give women access to local and international markets by facilitating product sales through outside retailers and our online Virtual Bazaar. We provide expertise such as product design and production assistance and business development workshops. We also help women form their own cooperative ventures and microenterprises such as production facilities and cooperative stores to sell goods women produce.

Together, these programs give women the opportunity to become active participants in the social, political and economic reconstruction of their lives, families and communities.
