Timeline

2019

After spending 12 years abroad, she returned to Tunisia and, together with her husdand Michael Cracknell, founded Enda inter-arabe in order to provide easier access to capital through microfinance for disadvantaged women who wished to progress in business. In particular, she encouraged women to become economically independent as she was convinced they had a vital role to play in development. Three-quarters of those who sought financing were women although men were also permitted to participate provided their wives acted as guarantors. This led to fruitful collaboration between men and women and wider acceptance of the ability of women to run businesses. Enda offered additional services for women including discussion fora, literacy courses, marketing and financial management. By 2019, some 800,000 micro-entrepreneurs had benefited from Enda's services, most of them women living in disadvantaged areas.
