| Promoting the economic role of women |
|
The FEM's - women empowerment and microventures initiative
operates with the objective of helping poor communities in the LDCs (less
developed countries) to self develop, through cooperative programs primarily
directed to strengthen the economic role of the women and to improve their
access to services, resources and entrepreneurial opportunities.
FEM was established in 2006 by a group of people and Italian organizations with
pluriannual experience in the realization of innovative projects of economic
cooperation in the LDCs, mainly in the fields of fair trade, micro-credit and,
development of services to support micro-enterprises.
