- Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Femmes Fières was created in 2019 and is composed of 3 administrators and 5 partners across Belgium and Morocco. We have first started our activities in the Er Rich region of Morocco where we provide training and support to women in these remote areas to launch their cooperative. Our trainings are done in partnership with Min Ajliki. Our projects are all concerned with accessibility, equal opportunities and sustainability: training of women to support their entrepreneurial project, renovation of a kindergarten, youth movement exchange between Belgium and Morocco, collect & distribution of clothes to the most deprived, ... So far we were mainly funded by crowdfunding initiatives and donations. However, we are currently expanding our activities and are applying to various grants and public funds in the Brussels Capital Region.
Femmes Fières's mission is to make entrepreneurship accessible to women without an academic background or training, in Belgium and in developing regions. We support them through the different phases of their project, from its definition to its maintenance, for a period of 5 years. Through workshops on business creation and management, we help these women to set up their project and ensure its success. These workshops, led by experts, give them access to the knowledge and tools necessary to make their idea a viable project. Our objectives are to: - Provide education and training opportunities in areas that do not offer these services. - Promote exchange and sharing between different languages and cultures. - Advocate for gender equality and fight against injustices arising from differences in treatment. - Ensure equal opportunities and access to work. Guarantee sustainable growth for the good of the community and its environment. - Ensure financial self-sufficiency for communities to allow them not only better access to health care and the education system for their children, but also to improve their infrastructure.
