A new mission and vision
Yente Fund
The Yente Fund is functioning as the ‘connecting link' for people and companies from The Netherlands, who intend to take some action and who want to convert their social involvement into concrete actions. A donation to the Yente Fund represents a well pointed support for female entrepreneurship. Read more
Peru, continuing story with an open end
Date: 18-12-2011
On the Yente website we reported on the successful seminars for women entrepreneurs in Lima and Arequipa. The seminars yielded initiatives that will become more concrete in the coming year. Yente seized the opportunity to enhance the ties with representatives of the Asociacion de Mujeres Empresarias del Perú (www.ameperu.com), the Peruvian branch of the international Femmes Chefs d'Entreprises Mondiales (www.fcem.org). In the coming months we will look at the possibilities of working together more closely.
New networking initiative
Inspired by Yente, women entrepreneurs from Cusco are thinking about starting a network with each other. Gretel Gutiérrez, Yente's partner in Peru and the Dutch Anika van der Kevie (Immenszo Foundation) who lives in Cusco herself, have offered their support and advice.
Lifeline Peru - the Netherlands
The member of the Yente network, RED de Mujeres Empresarias Arequipa have opened a savings account for a trip to the Netherlands in September next year. They want to combine doing business with a visit to the international event that Yente will organize for its tenth anniversary.
Peruvian Bites & Business
Yente entrepreneur Dalila Gamarra (Inka Traditions) is going to work out a Peruvian networking variant to the Dutch Bites & Business concept. The B&B formula - business-networking evenings in an informal setting and always without a speaker or formal subject because enterprising women have enough material for conversation - also seems an attractive concept for Peru.
