Obama support's Hope's plan to invest in
200,000 unemployed women in Saudi
May 29, 2011 15:31 EAT
President Obama and HRH King Abdullah are supporting Ambassador Hope's
plan to invest in 200,000 unemployed Saudi women to start their own green micro-
enterprises.
Hope says 'The unemployed women want to learn, earn and serve their familes and
communities. They are a great source of wasted talent and energy and now we have the
knowledge, processes, technology and distribution to empower them to be the most
productive micro-entrepreneurs in the region.
Hope said "Prophet Mohamad's (PBUH) first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid was a
successful business woman trading across the Middle East when she hired Muhammad
ibn Abdullah as an agent because he was truthful and trustworthy".
Ambassador Hope comments "Khalijah is a fantastic role model for Saudi women and all
muslim women to follow. She had vision, courage, great organization skills and
empowered her agents to do buisness across thousands of miles from Syria to Yemen".
