AT&T Sponsors Business Women in Afghanistan and Rwanda

Terry Neese, a successful small-business owner and the former president of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), founded the a non-profit charity and wanted to help business women globally.

She approached companies for sponsorship and got some very generous funding from AT&T.

Now women business owners in Afghanistan and Rwanda can take an eight-week business training course. Then these women come to America and are matched with mentors. For example, a bee keeper from Afghanistan is matched with a woman bee keeper with 600 hives in upper Michigan.

AT&T is a sponsor for Terry Neese and is helping to make her dreams of global women's empowerment come true.
