The Afghanistan Women’s Fund for Resilient Enterprises is designed to address both the finance gap and the support [AW1] gap facing women entrepreneurs.

The Fund will expand access to appropriate, Sharia-compliant financial services; strengthen digital and financial literacy, business skills, mentoring and market readiness; improve enterprise resilience and inclusion; and create a scalable pathway linking partners, referrals, finance and post-finance support.

Its model includes collateral-free, subsidized microloans through partner financial institutions, alongside financial literacy, digital finance, business-management support and women-only Sherkat mentorship. Mentoring continues for 9 months after the loan.

The first phase includes a USD 1.7M joint seed investment, targeting ≈1,500 women entrepreneurs and 14,000+ indirect beneficiaries within a 1-year initial reach horizon.
