I came across a blog today of which I had been ignorant. It’s the US-Saudi Women’s Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. The Forum is the creation of the Saudi Dar Al-Hekma girls college in Jeddah, the American Wellesley (women’s) College’s Centers for Women, and Babson College, also an American institution, which is focused on entrepreneurship.

The Forum’s goal is to help Saudi women become entrepreneurs in a changing Saudi and global environment. You might like to take a look.

    Thanks so much! I am with ICF International, who is the subgrantee of the MEPI and coordinating the program. I am actually in the classroom at this very moment at Babson College with all the students and wonderful faculty from DAH and Babson. It is truly an inspiring program, and we hope to continue it in the years to come.
