About SHE
Start Her Enterprise (SHE) is a movement determined to empower women globally and achieve gender equality in the world of work for aspiring entrepreneurs.
A History of Delivering
SHE is a campaign owned and organised by All We Can, a movement of change-makers who have served the most marginalised of communities for almost a century.
LONG-TERM IMPACT
SHE is not about quick wins.
Developing the world’s future business owners takes time. That is why SHE enters into long-term partnerships with local organisations to help create thriving women leaders, who will leave behind a legacy of real and lasting change.
At SHE, we are doing development differently. This represents a paradigm shift in the way we approach social and economic progress. It signifies a departure from traditional top-down, one-size-fits-all approaches to development. Instead, it emphasises adaptability, flexibility and inclusivity.
Doing development differently acknowledges that solutions must involve key stakeholders in the decision-making process. It encourages experimentation, learning from failures and scaling up successful innovations. Ultimately, it seeks to enable meaningful change that respects local cultures, knowledge and priorities, recognising that every community has a unique path to development—as does every person.
How SHE WORKS
SHE partners with local organisations and engages directly with communities to challenge the barriers of unemployment among women.
Through this approach, our partners in sub-Saharan Africa support women through locally-led vocational training, education and entrepreneurship programmes, to achieve financial freedom for themselves. The resulting women-owned businesses from these programmes also tackle issues within the wider community, exemplifying the far-reaching benefits of women unlocking their full potential.
At SHE, we are committed to championing women through their self-defined journey of business ownership. Together, we are helping to create a growing network of resilient and flourishing women entrepreneurs.
Where We Work
SHE works alongside local organisations from six countries across sub-Saharan Africa:
- Sierra Leone
- Liberia
- Ethiopia
- Uganda
- Malawi
- Zimbabwe
