Program accomplishments

  • In 2024, Creative Women of the World offered its six module business and financial literacy courses to the general public in Ecuador to women who have experienced domestic violence and who have been working in prostitution. We trained over 25 vulnerable women around the world, changing their financial futures and that of their children. We also offered a series of business workshops in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to women and creatives. We run a fair-trade store in downtown Fort Wayne that sells products from over 50 countries around the world, as well as products and artwork from local women artists. We held Empower Her World, our annual gala and fundraiser, in April 2024, where we raised approximately $58,580 for our mission.
