WHY SMALL BUSINESSES?

In consultation with Salvadoran women's groups and leaders, Salvadoran Enterprises for Women was advised to focus on small business. Why small business?

Anne

It works for women.

  • Women work close to home
  • Local needs are met
  • Money stays in the local economy

When women work close to home,

  • They are better able to oversee children and family activities
  • Time and resources needed for travel can be allotted to more basic needs
  • Buying food and household items at the local market keeps money in the community economy
