A Message From

Our President

Dear Members and Supporters of OWIT,


I'm delighted to welcome you to our October newsletter, themed "Uniting Business Women Around the Globe Through Trade” and here are 3 ways we have contributed to this endeavor.

Global Connectivity:

At OWIT, we've been dedicated to fostering connections among women in international trade since 1989. Through our events and networking opportunities, we've built a global community that transcends borders, allowing members to collaborate and share experiences across continents.


Empowering Women Economically:

Empowering women economically is our core mission. We provide the tools and support necessary for women to excel in international trade. As we navigate global challenges, we're committed to transforming the economic landscape for women to access the resources they need to prosper.


Amplifying Women's Voices:

OWIT is a platform for women to contribute to international trade policies and practices. We believe in the power of information and knowledge sharing to create a more inclusive trade environment. Our members lead in championing agendas that remove barriers and create opportunities for women.


As you explore this month's newsletter, reflect on the impact we've made together and the exciting journey ahead. We're not just uniting business women globally; we're reshaping international trade.


Thank you for your support and commitment to OWIT's mission.


Warm regards,


Frida Owinga

President, Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT)
