The Institute is proud to announce the women of Afghanistan and Rwanda who have been selected to participate in the 2010 PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS In-Country classes. These women were chosen based on their English test scores and their applications.

Thank you to everyone who applied, and to our facilitators and former students who are helping to make this year’s classes possible!

We wish all of our students the best of luck in their classwork and in the creation of their business plan.

Each In-Country student will soon have her own profile on our Web site — so check back soon to learn more about our students and their businesses!
