It has been an incredible time for women entrepreneurs in the West Bank participating in NEF’s program to help them launch their own small businesses!
Because of the generosity of donors like you, NEF will be able to provide up to 30% of their start-up funds in the form of grants that do not need to be repaid.
After receiving skills training and carefully developing their business plans, and now with funding, the women entrepreneurs are at the stage of starting their businesses!
As you can see in the pictures, the 44 women-owned businesses range from farming to food processing and also other areas – like craft production or retail shops.
During this time as the women launch their businesses, we’ve continued to provide additional training and mentoring support to help them navigate the at times difficult process of becoming a business owner.
THANK YOU for your support of this vital work to create economic opportunities for impoverished Palestinian women and their families!
