Womens Entrepreneurship Initiative

Over the past ten years, Indian farmers have tragically felt so
burdened by exorbitant interest rates, that they have felt no other
option but to turn to suicide. This disturbing phenomenon leaves a
growing population of widows, who heroically balance supporting their
families with a social status considered to be one of the lowest in
India.
WEI is helping economically disadvantaged women to become
decision-makers and leaders in their families, communities, India, and
throughout the world by helping them to build sustainable
entrepreneurial ventures. Entrepreneurs have a personal stake in the
success of their surrounding communities because they have invested
something in them and they rely on their workers and community
resources to pull off their business… if the community fails they fail.
