MITZ FOUNDATION
MITZ women entrepreneurs
At MITZ we walk with women who have all kinds of skills, not only artisanal ones, and who are creating projects with identity and purpose.
THE PROGRAM
Practical training, mentoring and a culture of saving
From cooking, sewing and natural products to services and personal brands, every business starts from their own talents and contexts.
Our entrepreneurship program promotes local economic development through practical training, personalized mentoring, a culture of saving and close support. Participants strengthen their confidence, learn to make informed decisions and develop skills such as critical thinking and resilience.
Many already sell their products, access seed funds and are part of local networks that drive circular economies and fair trade.
