The Academy of Women Entrepreneurs, known as AWE, with the support of the Ministry of Women, launched its new edition to empower Paraguayan women entrepreneurs and strengthen their skills to scale their businesses.
The nomination for the call can be made until October 22. Interested parties must enter HERE.
This edition will benefit 100 women entrepreneurs from all departments of the country, as well as from the capital. The goal is to achieve a broader scope and significant impact on various communities.
The program is aimed at Paraguayan women entrepreneurs, between the ages of 18 and 60, who own small or medium-sized enterprises, who face challenges in developing business plans to expand their businesses.
Participants must have a functioning business for at least six months. Also, as in previous editions, AWE 2024 aims to achieve greater inclusion of women from indigenous peoples and people of African descent, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, in line with the objectives of the State.
To be part of the program, interested parties must complete a pre-registration form, and then the technical team of the Paraguayan Foundation will contact the selected ones.
This program is implemented by the Paraguayan Foundation in conjunction with the United States Embassy in Paraguay.
AWE seeks to empower participants by providing them with the tools and networks necessary to turn their projects into successful companies. By including women from all regions, the program not only promotes individual economic development, but also contributes to better creating better conditions of stability, security and prosperity in their communities.
