Our vision is a world where women have equal opportunities and the capability, confidence and capital necessary to establish and grow businesses, resulting in a brighter future for the women themselves and their communities as a whole.
Women who are financially independent have greater control ov... read moreer their own and their children’s lives. Economic security gives women a more influential voice in tackling injustice and discrimination in their communities and wider society.
Yet women entrepreneurs around the world still lack the business skills, technology, networks and access to capital they need to be successful in the long term. The Foundation provides support in these four key areas so that women can grow their businesses and create employment opportunities.
Working in partnership with organisations on the ground, the Foundation develops programmes that build confidence, capability and capital in women. Given that women tend to invest 90% of their income back into their families, investing in women isn’t just good ethics, it’s sound economics.
Based in London with a global reach, the Foundation is run by a dedicated team overseen by a board of trustees.
The charity was set up in 2008 in response to Cherie’s experiences meeting women around the world and the realisation that, with the right support, women can overcome the challenges they face and play an important part in the economies and societies in which they work and live.
