In August, Slovenia was hit by the worst floods in its history, and the Slovenian Women Entrepreneurs Community responded promptly to the situation. We convened the HELP WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS conference, where both affected female entrepreneurs in need of assistance and those who could help in any way joined us.
While it initially seemed that diligent hands and physical work were most important in the immediate aftermath of the floods, a person who suddenly loses everything they have built over the years needs more than just material help and labor. They need a conversation with a fellow human being, encouragement, a hug… Our members, mentors, and other female entrepreneurs immediately stepped in to help. Therefore, we established the HELP WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS catalog – the catalog of assistance is available on our website.
We are well aware that the consequences of the floods will be long-lasting, and the process of recovery and returning to “normalcy” will undoubtedly be associated with an individual’s financial capabilities. For an entrepreneur, especially a smaller one, each day of non-business also means the risk of ceasing operations, thereby endangering not only their economic survival but also that of other family members, especially children.
The next meeting will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 1:00 PM. Registrations are being collected at info@skupnost-podjetnic.si.
