Saviez-vous que c’est la Journée mondiale de l’entrepreneuriat féminin? Nous croyons que la promotion de l’entrepreneuriat et de l’innovation aide les femmes à développer une plus grande prospérité économique, et nous sommes ravies de soutenir des projets de finance sociale axés sur les femmes dans le cadre du Programme de préparation à l’investissement! L’un de nos investissements du #ProgrammePI, The Stitch Lab by 707 Scadding Court Community Centre, offre des services de c...outure et de modification abordables, ainsi que des produits fabriqués à partir de vêtements et de textiles réutilisés. Ils aident les femmes à créer des opportunités économiques durables pour elles-mêmes tout en perfectionnant leurs compétences en affaires. Un autre investissement, NEXTinc. Saint John Community Loan Fund, forme les femmes à offrir des services-conseils en efficacité énergétique aux entreprises, en menant les audits énergétiques des habitations et améliorant la performance opérationnelle.
