A word from C.E.O. Women founder, Farhana Huq:

“In 2000, I founded Creating Economic Opportunities for Women (C.E.O. Women) to address the unique needs of immigrant and refugee women struggling to become self-sufficient, contributing members of our society. The concept of C.E.O. Women is simple: our program is not based on a deficit model. Rather, it builds off of the entrepreneurial skills and hard work ethic immigrants and refugees bring to this nation, imparting them with the tools to further their own economic empowerment in a new land. Now more than ever do we need to help immigrants and refugees build futures for themselves and their families in this country. Through C.E.O. Women, I am not only changing the world, but I am allowing others to change the world as well by making a significant impact on the life of a woman. By helping one woman, we not only help her children and her family but affect an entire community thereby contributing to positive social change and a brighter tomorrow.”
