Türkiye

Girls Write the Future is sponsoring 24 refugee women in Denizli, Türkiye, to complete an entrepreneurship course. This will empower them economically and help them to become financially independent. 

This training programme, called ABE, focuses on developing business knowledge and provides students with professional qualifications. This has immense potential for long-term economic empowerment – with relevant knowledge, these women can start their own businesses and take charge of their careers and general well-being. They can then, in turn, share their knowledge with those around them, further increasing the impact of their training. To date, over 1.5 million people have completed ABE professional degrees around the world.  

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ABE programmes were moved online and the students we sponsored completed the bulk of their courses over Zoom. This learning format will remain in place until it is deemed safe for students to return to dedicated training centres.
