The Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women is a non profit public charity dedicated to the economic empowerment of women. The Institute focuses on educating, mentoring and coaching women, in the United States and abroad, who are seeking to acquire entrepreneurial skills to help start and grow a business. IEEW works collaboratively with educational institutions as well as government and private industry to execute our mission.

In partnership with the U.S. State Department, USAID, and our sponsoring universities, IEEW is bringing women entrepreneurs from developing countries to the United States to engage in a high level 4 week business basics curriculum and mentoring program. The business basics curriculum will include principles of business management, fundamentals of human resource development, ethical issues in operating an enterprise, financing strategies, and the use of technology to enhance education and long-distance learning. There will also be a mentoring component which will allow women business owners in the United States to share knowledge with women from around the world; and women in the United States to learn from them.
