Sabine has been working diligently to equip young women entrepreneurs with the skills, business linkages, and the platform to voice their needs in the ecosystem. 

The topic of Give A Day 14 sparked a much needed conversation surrounding challenges and opportunities of supporting women entrepreneurs as well as exploring the topic of Gender Lens Investment through discussions on the key barriers and opportunities to incorporate and promote gender lens in programs for women’s economic empowerment.  

By bringing together stakeholders from different sectors, the 14th Give a Day event provided a platform to exchange knowledge, experiences, and best practices in supporting women entrepreneurs. With the insights shared during the 14th Give a Day event, a path to harnessing gender lens investing and promoting women entrepreneurship was introduced, providing a promising outlook for Cambodia’s startup ecosystem.
