Alongside the #International Mother's Day, we take a look back at one of WIDU's milestone, the #WomenCall.

Launched in Ethiopia on July 1st, 2023 the #WomenCall aimed to promote women's successes by supporting female entrepreneurs in developing their businesses.
The new instrument has focused mainly on the country's rural areas, where women are facing barriers in terms of funding and networking. Officially closed on 31 August, more than 391 have applied to #WomenCall and 120 women are supported so far, gaining access to new opportunities.
#Shout out to every women, Mothers in the corner!👏👏
#HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

ለመላው የክርስትና እምነት ተከታዮች በሙሉ እንኳን #ለፋሲካ በአል በሰላም አደረሳቹ። በአሉ የሰላም የጤና እንዲሁም መልካም የምንሰራበት በአል ይሁንልን በማለት የዊዱ ቲም ይመኛል።

Every Labor Day reminds us that even the most successful entrepreneurs started with a simple idea and a lot of hard work. There are no shortcuts to building something great. It takes dedication,perseverance and the sweat of your brow. 🧤🪡🧵⛑️🧳

እያንዳንዱ የላብ አደሮች ቀን ምን እንድናስታውስ ያደርገናል? በጣም የተሳካለት የቢዝነስ ሰው እንኳን ጅማሪው ከምንም በመነሳት ግን ደግሞ ትልቅ ሃሳብ እና ብዙ ትጋት ይዞ መጀመሩን ያስገነዝበናል። ታላቅ ነገር ለመገንባት አቋራጭ መንገድ የለም፤ የራስ ተነሳሽነት፣ ትጋት እና፣ ጽናትን ይጠይቃል። መልካም የሰራተኞች ቀን!

አዲስ አበባ እና አቅራቢያ ለምትገኙ የዊዱ ኢትዮጵያ ተሳታፊዎቻችን ለማንኛውም ዊዱን የተመለከቱ ጥያቄዎች የመረጃ ዲስካችንን በተጠቀሰው ጊዜና ቦታ ይጎብኙ።

Happy International Mother Earth Day! Let's show our love for our planet by taking action against climate change.
