Reaching Out to Sister Entrepreneurs

We’re on a mission to create a world in which empowered women elevate communities and eliminate poverty. So far, the financial support and mentoring that we’ve been able to provide to more than 4,000 women has made a profound impact in their communities. And we’re just getting started.

However, we need your help, because that mission isn’t free.

Join us for our most popular fundraiser of the year, the ROSE Event.

Here's what you can look forward to:

Three amazing workshops provided by MN-based women entrepreneurs
Stories and videos about the impact your support has on women and children in rural Tanzania
Musical performances by Carolyne Naomi
Networking opportunities with women from all around the world who have a passion for supporting other women
An online auction filled with unique handcrafted jewelry and baskets from Tanzanian artisans, art and more

Be inspired. Be entertained.

Be generous.

Individual, Group, and Sponsor Ticket options available.

Support World Encounter’s Mission
from the Twin Cities to Tanzania

Our microloan and mentoring programs support business women in over a dozen villages in rural Tanzania, Africa. Since 1996, WE has provided financial support and business coaching to over 4,000 women, which in turn has impacted the lives of over 30,000 children and adults across 14 rural villages.

ROSE Event Proceeds support the mission of World Encounter

The ROSE event shines a light on success stories in Minnesota and the great work World Encounter is doing for entrepreneurs in southeastern Africa. The 90-minute format provides us time to reflect on the challenges and successes women face in entrepreneurship.
