PHILANTHROPY
Leading
Queen’s
Counsel,
wife
of
the
former
British
Prime
Minister
and
committed
campaigner
for
women’s
rights,
Cherie
set
up
the
Cherie
Blair
Foundation
for
Women
in
2008
to
help
women
build
small
and
growing
businesses
in
low
and
middle
income
countries
so
that
they
can
contribute
to
their
economies and have a stronger voice in their societies.
Ten
years
on,
Cherie
is
tireless
in
her
efforts
to
champion
women’s
economic
empowerment,
travelling
internationally
to
visit
projects
and
speaking
about
the
value
of
women’s
entrepreneurship
at
global
influencing
events.
The
Foundation
is
driven
by
a
talented
and
committed
team
and
together
they
provide
women with the skills, technology, networks and access to capital that they need to become successful small and growing business owners.
By
empowering
women
to
achieve
financial
and
economic
independence,
the
Cherie
Blair
Foundation
for
Women
ensures
women
entrepreneurs
gain
stronger voices and have greater impact to help their families prosper, their communities thrive and economies to grow.
The
Foundation
believes
in
the
power
of
partnerships.
They
take
a
hands-on
collaborative
approach
working
with
individuals,
non-profit
organisations,
corporations,
financial
institutions
and
government
bodies
to
develop
programmes
that
are
individually
tailored
to
the
diverse
needs
of
women
entrepreneurs in different contexts and geographies.
The
immediate
impact
of
the
Foundation’s
work
is
clear
to
see
in
the
stories
of
the
women
they
support
but
on
a
long-term
basis,
by
driving
greater
equality, its legacy will most assuredly be felt by many generations to come.
