Khalida Dunya is a graduate of the Peace through Business® 2009 In Country training, and has been selected to travel to the US for Leadership Development in August 2009.
Her company “Ball Making Training and Production” is a natural outgrowth of her tailoring business and her association with Amir Taj.
Amir Taj is a Peace through Business® 2007 graduate and mentored Khalida Dunya to help her build a business similar to her own ball making company. Our students are taught to Pay Forward the training they received in the US from their affiliation with IEEW. This is an excellent example of our students taking home their training and empowering other women in their community.
Today Taj buys production from Khalida and continues to mentor her.
It is Khalida Dunya’s wish to continue to grow her business, to become a leader in her community, adding employees and contribute to the economic growth of the region.
IEEW will provide Kahlida with additional tools to accomplish her goal during the Leadership Development and International Women’s Economic Conference in Dallas, TX in August 2009.
