By giving just two hours a month, you could support a pioneering women entrepreneur in a developing country as she builds her business, gains economic independence and has a more influential voice in her community.
The Cherie Blair Foundation’s Mentoring Women in Business Programme is an innovative scheme that combines mentoring with technology to support women entrepreneurs in over 100 countries. Online mentoring helps to accelerate the strides these women are making and take their businesses, confidence and skills to the next level.
We invite you to join this distinctive programme and become a mentor! Mentors can be both men and women. They need just two hours a month and a passion for supporting a woman entrepreneur. Over the course of a year, you’ll meet with your mentee online two hours a month to work on goals that are tailored to her needs and your expertise and interests. There are participants from diverse sectors and on board, so chances are there is a mentee who could benefit from your expertise and background.
From rejuvenating interest in your own work, using your business skills in a new way, joining a vibrant community of accomplished entrepreneurs and professionals, making new contacts and supporting your mentee as she makes inimitable strides, mentoring presents a tremendous learning and growth opportunity.
Apply here before the 23rd of April to get involved: http://www.cherieblairfoundation.org/programmes/mentoring-get-involved

Mission Statement
Our vision is a world where women have equal opportunities and the capability, confidence and capital necessary to establish and grow businesses, resulting in a brighter future for the women themselves and their communities as a whole.
Description
Based in London with a global reach, the Foundation is run by a dedicated team overseen by a board of trustees.
The charity was set up in 2008 in response to Cherie’s experiences meeting women around the world and the realisation that, with the right support, women can overcome the challenges they face and play an important part in the economies and societies in which they work and live.
Our mission is to provide women with the skills, technology, networks and access to capital that they need to become successful small and growing business owners, so that they can contribute to their economies and have a stronger voice in their societies.
Working in partnership with non-profit, private and public sector organisations, we develop projects with sustainable solutions to the challenges women entrepreneurs face through three programmes:
- Enterprise Development Programme
- Mentoring Women in Business Programme
- Mobile Technology Programme
We help fill the gap in the economy known as the 'missing middle’ - small and growing businesses. The women we work with have the potential to take the next step towards becoming successful entrepreneurs or are running small businesses that have already had some success but are struggling to sustain their position or expand. By focusing on the women who have already achieved a level of success, we’re helping women to create employment opportunities and contribute to their economies.
