Hashoo Foundation and Women Chamber, Peshawar Join Hands to Empower Women as Future LeadersThis MoU signifies a mutual commitment to support and uplift regional women through demand-driven training programs, workshops, and seminars to enhance their skills and capacities. With a labour force participation rate of only 21% for women and just 1% of women pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours, this partnership seeks to create a robust support network for women, equipping them with industry-specific, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills, as well as the resources and opportunities needed for success. This collaboration will also offer mentorship, business development services, entrepreneurial support, financial resources, and networking opportunities to women entrepreneurs.
Azra Jamshed, President of the Women Chamber of Commerce Peshawar, remarked, “Our MoU with Hashoo Foundation is a significant milestone in our mission to empower women as future leaders.”
Haris Qayyum Khan, CEO of Hashoo Foundation, added, “We are honoured to partner with the Women Chamber of Commerce, Peshawar in advancing our shared vision of empowering women and promoting economic and social inclusion.
