We are so encouraged to see the launch of the @StateDept Alliance for Afghan Women’s Economic Resilience, led by @SecBlinken and @BU_Tweets. IEEW has been working with @WWafeq to advance Afghan women economically for 16 years and welcomes more partners in this critical endeavor!
This morning, I announced the @StateDept’s Alliance for Afghan Women’s Economic Resilience, a partnership with @BU_Tweets. The U.S. is committed to the advancement of Afghan women’s entrepreneurship, employment, and educational opportunities in Afghanistan and around the world.

Last week, we had our 2nd PTB alumni networking call. Nearly 30 graduates joined to share their stories & discuss challenges they are experiencing. We love getting to provide a platform for feedback & problem solving & are inspired by what these women are overcoming to succeed.
One thing we love most about our program is the diversity of industries represented by our PTB students. The 2022 students are involved in industries ranging from fashion design to agriculture to construction. We're so proud of all of them!
