Our Fall 2024 Peace Through Business Class of Afghan women business owners receiving virtual business training. Peace Through Business is now a part of the Enterprising Women Foundation and has expanded this summer into Uganda, and will continue training in Rwanda this Fall. We are so proud of this program that has graduated more than 1,600 women business owners in these countries over the past 18 years.
