It provides a platform for women entrepreneurs, young innovators, and community leaders to showcase their skills, expand their networks, and strengthen their economic Independence .

The event features a variety of items, including foodstuffs, hair products, clothing, shoes,  jewelries and household goods at affordable prices.

"This 3-day event is our ministry's way of saying, 'We see your hard work, and we are providing the platform for you to scale up'," Abdallah added. 

The trade fair will run from March 4 to March 6, 2026, and is expected to promote women's economic empowerment and celebrate their achievements.
