Women SMEs are struggling. The fourth wave of COVID-19 has hit Pakistan - the Delta Variant - and is expected to be worse than the previous three combined. Exhibitions have been shut again with no announced date to reopen.
Since no one actually knows what the impact will be, home businesses and small businesses are scared they may have to shut down permanently, and more importantly, how to pay their next bills.
We are connecting women SMEs to various ecommerce sites and working closely with the State Bank of Pakistan to nominate women for loans from a local bank through the State Bank's women SME scheme.
But, it's more than just "connections" - it is training. How to market, how to leverage those connections.
Your donations are going toward giving talented women the training to build their brands and leverage opportunities. Now, more than ever, your help is needed. Thank you for all you have given. We need your help even more. Please give today!
