CARE’s Approach to Women’s Entrepreneurship
Enterprise development in low-income communities provides an important pathway to ending poverty, advances gender equality and helps achieve women’s economic justice and rights. CARE is committed to supporting women entrepreneurs to build their business, gain an income and lift themselves out of poverty.
