About
AWE — Program

The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs program was created to provide women with the knowledge, networks, and access they need to start and grow successful businesses. The AWE program is a flexible educational opportunity that combines the online platform DreamBuilder with locally provided content, mentoring, and facilitation. Through DreamBuilder, a cohort of women learn core business skills such as strategic planning, marketing and finance, and then discuss the material with local facilitators and business partners.

The program seeks to promote women’s social and economic empowerment, by teaching enterprising women how to launch and scale their businesses. AWE reinforces peer-to-peer learning, networking, and cohesion among the graduating classes of women entrepreneurs, while also demonstrating local business growth. AWE Rwanda has proven to be customized, impactful and a lifetime opportunity for our Kigali and Bugesera graduates. We look forward to reaching out to other participants from other parts of Rwanda.
