The Women´s Bean Project´s was formed in 1989 with the goal of helping women break the cycle of poverty and unemployment by helping women discover their talents and develop skills by offering job readiness training opportunities. Their mission is to teach, through employment in on-site businesses, workplace competencies for entry-level positions to women who come from backgrounds of chronic unemployment or poverty. With this WPB helps not only the women they employ, but also future generations as thief employees are able to support themselves and develop strong self respect.
Jossy Eyre founded the Women's Bean Project in 1989 as a result of her volunteer work at a day shelter for homeless women. Eyre saw that while the shelter kept women safe, if could not help them make lasting changes in their lives. Eyre bought $500 worth of beans and put two homeless women to work - the first step in building the social enterprise we are today. The training opportunities have expanded dramatically over the years, and annual operating budget has grown from $6,100 to over $1.2 million.
