Empowering Initiatives Across the Globe

Empowerment is at the heart of IWEC’s mission, and our entrepreneurs are actively involved in initiatives that uplift communities and create opportunities for others.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, Ngozi Okoro is running a microfinance initiative that provides small loans to women entrepreneurs in rural areas.

Ngozi’s initiative is particularly important in a region where access to finance is often limited, and her work is helping to break the cycle of poverty.

And in Canada, Emily Chen has established a non-profit organization that provides training and resources to immigrant women who want to start their own businesses. This organization helps these women navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship, providing them with culturally sensitive support and guidance.
