Vital Voices is a leader in women’s economic empowerment, supporting the growth of women-owned business and social enterprise to increase sales, create jobs and stimulate inclusive long-term economic growth.
Based on current projections, it will take more than 250 years to close the economic opportunity gender gap. Vital Voices is committed to supporting women leaders who are boosting their economies and creating change through business to close that gap faster.
Across our current programs, the Economic Empowerment and Entrepreneurship team has worked with more than 800 women entrepreneurs from 118 countries with businesses in various sectors. Vital Voices has implemented cutting-edge solutions for women-owned small and medium sized enterprises through short and long-term accelerator and mentorship programs, technical assistance and capacity building. In addition to business growth, the participants in our programs are equipped with the leadership skills and training to drive positive social change in their communities, paying forward the investment made in them to others.
Our Economic Empowerment and Entrepreneurship programs include:
- Fortune – U.S. Department of State Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership
