President Obama and HRH King Abdullah are supporting Ambassador Hope’s plan to invest in 200,000 unemployed Saudi women to start their own green micro-enterprises.
Hope says ‘The unemployed women want to learn, earn and serve their familes and communities. They are a great source of wasted talent and energy and now we have the knowledge, processes, technology and distribution to empower them to be the most productive micro-entrepreneurs in the region.
Hope said “Prophet Mohamad’s (PBUH) first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid was a successful business woman trading across the Middle East when she hired Muhammad ibn Abdullah as an agent because he was truthful and trustworthy”.
Ambassador Hope comments “Khalijah is a fantastic role model for Saudi women and all muslim women to follow. She had vision, courage, great organization skills and empowered her agents to do buisness across thousands of miles from Syria to Yemen”.
