SHE STARTS WITH THRIVE

Promoting greater financial inclusion and economic independence for women through targeted support.

DEDICATED SUPPORT FOR WOMEN

Thrive has launched the She Starts with Thrive program to support more refugee women in starting their own small businesses. We recognise the unique challenges many women from refugee backgrounds face, from limited access to finance to family commitments and language barriers.
