The Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) will join the investment firm Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and 15 other schools to provide business education to 10,000 underserved women in developing nations.

Goldman Sachs has committed $100 million to the “10,000 Women” program, which is aimed at strengthening business skills for women in areas including Afghanistan, Egypt and Rwanda, where business training resources are not widely available for women. The schools that will join the GSB in supporting the program include Harvard, Columbia, Brown, the University of Pennsylvania and several international universities.

In addition to developing scholarships and networking opportunities, the program will examine the factors that have largely barred women from gaining business training in these regions.
