Women Economic Empowerment Entrepreneurship Support (WEE-ES) was a great experience, it create a wide-open door for future opportunities. I was especially delighted to share my alternative water resource project. WEE-ES was really helpful and focused on several useful topics that I need to kick off my project.

The WEE-ES program has helped me to professionally upgrade and develop my project and to reach out to my target audience. Also it helped me in many ways such as the creation of the courses I offer, marketing techniques, and financial management.

I absolutely loved the vibes of being among hard-working Egyptian women who show up every day to be the best versions of themselves. It was my utmost pleasure to share my knowledge with them and I genuinely wish them the best because they deserve it.
