10,000 Women
10,000 Women is a five year program organised by Goldman Sachs with the goal of training 10,000 women from predominantly developing countries in business and management.[1][2] The program was announced on March 5, 2008 at Columbia University.[3][4] The scheme is one of the largest philanthropic projects the bank has been involved with.[5]
As part of the program, Goldman Sachs has committed $100 million in funding and partnered universities in Europe and the United States with business schools in developing and emerging economies.[6][7]
Since 2009, Vital Voices has presented the 10,000 Women Entrepreneurial Achievement Award at its annual Global Leadership Awards event.[8] The award is given to a graduate of the 10,000 Women program, sponsored by Goldman Sachs. Past recipients include Temituokpe Esisi of Nigeria (2009) and Andeisha Farid of Afghanistan (2010).
