Roudha Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation has announced partnership with ExxonMobil Qatar to launch this year’s Mashroui Program.
Mashroui, which means ‘my business’ in Arabic, is Qatar’s first and only women’s entrepreneurship development programme. The programme is a free, three-month course that teaches current and aspiring women entrepreneurs the A-to-Z of how to create and develop a successful business. Delivered by accomplished business consultants and lecturers from the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), the courses have been tailored to produce a profound learning experience and to speak to the needs and challenges of women entrepreneurs in Qatar.
“Mashroui is a one of a kind programme being delivered in this region, empowering the women of Qatar to realise their potential and in turn contribute directly to the country’s economy. We are delighted to, once again, find a partner in ExxonMobil, which shares our commitment to empowering women with the skills and knowledge they need to achieve their dreams,” said Shareefa Fadhel, Roudha Center’s co-founder and managing director.
“ExxonMobil Qatar is extremely pleased to be part of Mashroui, and to support Roudha Center for the second year of this programme, which advances women’s participation in Qatar’s economy. Their participation transpires into more prosperous communities, both socially and economically,” said Abdullatif Al Naemi, National Development Manager for ExxonMobil Qatar.The Peninsula
