Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women


The Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women is an American 5013 not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2006, which, through its PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS program in Afghanistan and Rwanda, provides long-term business training to women business owners in developing and war-torn countries. We believe that when you educate a woman, you educate a nation. It is widely recognized that an economically sound society has a much greater capacity for peace. As these women build their businesses, they also help to strengthen their communities. Together, we are building the economic road to peace. Our PTB graduates are educating their children, creating jobs for their communities, and engaging in the public policy arena.
