Glad Nations

Glad Nations is a women’s enterprise program that empowers International women to start their own small businesses.

Women who attend Women’s Club and have obtained legal permission to work may enroll in this program that helps them begin their own small business making handbags, knitted items, or jewelry.

Using a five-step process, each woman can learn the needed skills to make products, as well as how to design products, purchase raw materials cost effectively, and handle the business aspects legally and productively.

Initially, International House supplies all of the supplies for the women to begin. We also assist with marketing and sales. As the women move through the five-step process they must learn to use good business principles to sustain and expand their businesses.
