Share Your Expertise. Support Afghan Women Entrepreneurs.

 

Behind every product is extraordinary craftsmanship, creativity, and a woman building a business.

The Global Women’s Trade Caravan (GWTC) works to strengthen women’s economic opportunities through trade, market connections, mentorship, and global networks. As part of our work supporting Afghan women entrepreneurs, we are building a network of professionals who can share their knowledge and connections.

We are particularly interested in expertise in market access and buyer connections; e-commerce and digital marketing; branding, design and product development; export, logistics and supply chains; finance and pricing; business strategy; quality and certification; retail and wholesale; operations and financial management.

GWTC greatly values and appreciates the contributions of volunteer mentors to the organization and to supporting women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan. In recognition of their service, GWTC will provide volunteer mentors with a certificate of service and/or a reference letter upon request, as needed.
