This June, pioneering women entrepreneurs from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will team up with successful professionals, like you, to grow and refine their businesses.
These women have the ideas and ambition to become successful entrepreneurs, but are often held back by lack of access to business skills training, technology, networks or finance. The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women has developed an innovative e-mentoring platform to provide the support these women need.
Can you really make a difference in one woman’s life by becoming a mentor? Yes!
Angela
, an entrepreneur in Kenya, dreamed of owning a seed-supply business. With the help of her mentor, an investment advisor in Switzerland, she became fully self-employed, wrote a business plan, approached foreign investors, and garnered new clients.
Can your mentee make a difference in your life? Yes!
Maria
, a global HR manager, said, “It’s not only Mary who gains from our mentoring journey; I also learned a great deal, especially about trying to simplify processes and tools from the very large corporate world into meaningful and practical ones for the smaller business. And, I have a new great friendship that fulfills me so much.”
