EWI helps launch and grow women-run micro-businesses through entrepreneurship training, mentorship, business support services, loans applications and market access. We help women integrate, act as agents of change and improve their lives and livelihoods through community participation, civic engagement and cultural programs and events. EWI serves immigrant, refugee, low-income, and at-risk women who come from all walks of life. Many are unemployed or underemployed, experiencing social trauma, isolation, domestic violence, mental or physical health challenges, or financial instability. All are highly talented, determined, and dream of a better life for themselves and their families.
