The minority of Haitian women in the Business industry underscores a need for recruitment. Thus, through its programs, EHW is an outreach apparatus, aimed at challenging that deficit. Through EHW’s educational program, promising young women of Haitian descent are able to realize their dreams, in pursuing an accelerated education in Business. The educational program includes raising funds to provide scholarship to young women in Miami Dade County Public High Schools and to young women enrolled in the Business program at Florida A&M University.

In effect, EHW’s educational program significantly increases the number of Haitian women in the areas of: Business Administration, Accounting, Marketing, Finance, and Business Management. The $500 scholarship given to each student cultivates and encourages high scholastic and professional achievement.

In addition to providing scholarships to deserving young women, we also encourage mentoring opportunities between the young women and other women in the professional sector. Each recipient will be given a mentor in their respective field. Upon graduation, we encourage each scholarship recipient to serve as a mentor to an incoming high school recipient. The mentoring program is a conduit through which individuals can grow and develop, personally and professionally, while simultaneously providing community service to their local community.
