Spotlight: Global Women’s Economic Empowerment and Hunger Relief
Walmart announced the Global Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative on September 14, 2011. With more than $100 million dollars in grants supported through Walmart’s international and U.S. business units and the Walmart Foundation, this initiative aims to drive progress in five key areas: women-owned businesses, farms and factories, job training and education, and gender diversity. The Walmart Foundation’s domestic (U.S.) and international contributions will focus broadly on increasing women’s access to career advancement opportunities through improved job training and education.

Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are in the second year of a $2 billion cash and in-kind hunger relief campaign that extends through 2015. The Foundation’s contributions are strategically aimed at ending hunger for the 1 in 6 Americans that do not know where their next meal is coming from. As such, the Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that integrate hunger relief into our four focus areas.
