Increasing Women’s Incomes: Empowering Entrepreneurs with Digital Skills

Описание: For many of us, it’s easy to assume that once communities are connected, opportunity will naturally follow. In reality, the Internet is a double-edged sword; it can empower, but it can also exclude those without the skills, confidence, and support to use it safely and effectively.

That’s why Atma Connect launched the Women-Helping-Women Towards Economic Inclusion program in Serang, Indonesia, to ensure women entrepreneurs on the urban periphery could truly benefit from it.

Through hands-on digital training and peer support, women-led small businesses learned how to market products online, improve production and sales efficiency, and expand their reach beyond their local communities.

The impact is clear:
✨ 100% reported increased sales, marketing activity, or profits
✨ Expanded market access for products like homemade foods, crochet bags, and ceremonial items
✨ Greater confidence and leadership among women business owners

Digital inclusion is not just about providing access. It’s about building capability, strengthening confidence, and nurturing community.

Watch the video to see how women entrepreneurs in Indonesia are transforming connectivity into real economic opportunity, and join us in building an Internet that truly works for everyone!

This project was made possible through funding from the Internet Society Foundation.
