We\u2019re delighted to continue our Women Entrepreneurship Programme<\/a><\/strong> in Wales, Ghana, and Saudi Arabia, thanks to our funders and collaborating partners: Cardiff University in Wales, CEED in Ghana, and our partners in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Our programme provides free, online courses to help women turn their micro and small business ideas into commercially viable realities.<\/p>\n

The courses cover: assessing yourself as a business person, assessing your business idea, conducting market research, developing a business plan, accessing finance, and everything in between.<\/p>\n

What is our goal?<\/h1>\n

Our goal is to enable and empower aspiring women entrepreneurs across the world.<\/p>\n

Everyone faces barriers when it comes to starting a business, but women especially come up against greater challenges \u2014 and this is a common thread across nations.<\/p>\n

We truly believe that entrepreneurship has the ability to strengthen communities, grow economies, narrow the financial gender gap and help eradicate poverty.<\/p>\n

By enabling women to become their own bosses and achieve financial freedom, we can help transform communities and change the world.<\/p>\n

Why is our international reach important?<\/h1>\n

Although the majority of our work happens in Wales and the UK, we\u2019re committed to sharing our ACF products, knowledge, and services across the world.<\/p>\n

Economic inequality and financial exclusion are global issues \u2014 only made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. In line with our values of benevolence and generosity, and our focus on individuals excluded from mainstream support, tackling these issues beyond our own doorstep is important to us.<\/p>\n

We know that by making our resources go further, sharing our skills and capabilities, and partnering with international organisations, we can help ensure worldwide economic growth within communities.<\/p>\n

Want to support our mission?<\/h1>\n

We can only do what we do through the generosity of public, private and corporate organisations, as well as individual donors.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to collaborate or partner with us, or simply send us a one-off donation \u2014 there are many ways you can get involved. Click here to see how<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
