Cambodian Business Women Find Facebook to be a Financial Friend

I love this. No matter where you are in the world, the internet is reaching out to bring all of us together. This time it’s Facebook.

Cambodian women are known for their strong work ethic but, surprisingly, they’re even better businesswomen. Women own 62 percent of Cambodia’s businesses. Sure, many of them are small startups, but The Asia Foundation notes that Cambodian women are making inroads in formerly male-dominated industries and construction is one of them.

Unfortunately, these progressive entrepreneurs face a lack of traditional support for their business ventures and that’s where Facebook enters the picture. Already, more than a few hundred Cambodian businesswomen have joined their sisters in creating the Cambodia Women in Business site on Facebook, which is proving lucrative, indeed.

Congrats to these industries women and best of luck for their continued success.
