Your Generous Donations will help to address the following:
Problem: Women comprise 70% of the world's poorest people, according to a report from the United Nations. Despite the increase in women achieving academic degrees and contributing to the workforce in far higher numbers today than decades ago, women face multiple constraints to employment success and entrepreneurial opportunities ranging from limited networks with compatible businesses and CEOs to lack of access to capital to unfamiliarity in how to craft and implement a business plan.
Solution: African American and Hispanic women are among the fastest growing entrepreneurial segments in the country, growing at rates of 133.3% and 191.4% respectively from 1997 to 2007, and are three to five times more likely to start a business than their white counterparts, according to a report by the Center for Women's Business Research. Moreover, the U.S. has experienced 11% growth over the last 40 years as a direct result of the increased participation of women, which translates into $3.5 trillion, according to the World Economic Forum Gender Gap report.
Key to closing the female entrepreneurship chasm and ending the cycle of poverty for thousands of women in under-served communities is equipping them with the necessary tools to overcome barriers. The WEP is investing in women with a comprehensive, integrative approach that ensures women complete the program then reinvest in their communities and inspire hope and change in future generations.
The WEP will impact the lives of over 2,000 women in FY2015. WEP projects that student enrollment in the vocational training component to triple and the number of women impacted to reach 50,000 in FY2018. Targeted at historically under-served communities, the WEP will provide economic development and sustainability far beyond the participants in the program but for entire communities.
Request: The WEP seeks funding to provide its programs throughout 2015-2016. With $75,000, the WEP can train, educate and enhance outreach to more targeted populations of historically under-served women communities. With $90,000, the WEP can enroll 20 additional aspiring young women entrepreneurs into the vocational training program. With $70,000, the WEP can launch a road show to provide informational and outreach/training sessions for women entrepreneurs in the WEP constituency in selected cities from different states in the U.S. where there is the highest demand for this program
