Women in Progress works to achieve economic independence of women and alleviate poverty at a grassroots level in developing nations through the sustainable growth of small women-owned businesses and at the same time establishes mutual understanding among people of diverse cultures. As an international volunteer organization, Women in Progress helps people volunteer abroad. It believes that the most effective way for women to realize social and economic justice is to achieve economic independence through self-employment.

Women in Progress consulting teams collaborate with women entrepreneurs to translate their ideas into realistic business plans, which define measurable objectives, realistic tasks and an estimated timeline for completion. The three programs offered are:

• Training & support;
• Business development;
• International trade.
