    Despite facing significant challenges such as conflict displacement and increasing ingredient costs, this female business owner's dedication enabled her to resume her business and succeed. She expanded her customer base by launching a new production line, enhancing efficiency, and receiving orders from all provinces of Iraq. Driven by her commitment to helping women, she hired five women cooks, including a widow who lost her husband during the ISIS conflict. She equipped them with culinary skills and equipment to earn a living.

    With USAID’s support, this female business owner was able to grow her business and is now giving back to her community. She is currently visiting local associations and organizations catering to working women to offer them free training and potential employment in her factory.

    USAID celebrates the efforts of Iraqi female entrepreneurs, who are building a brighter future by supporting other women.
