"Since winning the AWIEF Award, and the publicity it brought to us, we have continue to work on the business and to raise more funds. We do refer to the award when approaching financiers/investors, and I believe this helped a lot to getting more financing from investors, and which in turn has made our business growth further."

"AWIEF's eCommerce programme doesn't just help our businesses now, but it helps us create a better future for upcoming generations. Thank you for giving me the tools to create a sustainable business that can now move past being a first generation business."

"What an honour to be part of the AWE Class of 2022. I applied for this training initiative in hopes of 1. Finding business mentorship, 2. Learning how to scale my service based company, 3. Access to a network of women who know what its like to build a business from the ground up. I found that and MORE! I can now confidently pitch my business, the problem I solve, and my value proposition! I can also confidently call myself an entrepreneur."

"The SMEs Investment and Export Readiness program has exposed my business to clients I never thought I would get at this point. Because of this program, our team is now beginning to understand how business beyond the local space is done."

"The AWIEF Growth Accelerator program was an incredibly inspiring, safe and supportive environment, and was particularly useful during our sudden, rapid growth phase."

AWIEF's Digital Skills AWS re/Start programme literally changed my whole career and how I saw myself. I studied business my whole life and I never saw myself doing anything outside that. The programme gave me an opportunity to find a balance between what I’ve learned in commerce and what I’ve learned in the cloud.
