MOMentum. Helping mothers gain MOMentum in entrepreneurship
Despite living in a rapidly digitalizing society, within a dynamic economy, and greatly integrated European society, not everyone moves at the same pace. Mothers, especially young women with unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, have multiple obstacles on their journey to financial stability.
The organisations carrying out MOMentum strongly believe that mothers should be encouraged and adequately assisted to develop their entrepreneurial mindsets and skills. Equipping these mothers with the tools to explore more financial possibilities can empower these women to be more independent. At the same time, stronger, financially stable women can help European societies become more inclusive, equitable, and progressive.
