Each donation makes it easier for women to succeed in their new professional project.

“As a female entrepreneur, the cause of the Lise Watier Foundation is close to my heart because I understand the challenges faced when starting a business. I can only imagine the strength of character required when coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. The foundation’s mission to support women starting their own businesses certainly helps change their destinies and contributes to their success as entrepreneurs.”

The participants of the Let’s Start Up program of the Lise Watier Foundation have experienced situations of vulnerability. They are now working hard to find their way back to financial independence. Help them believe in themselves and spread their wings by writing them an encouraging message! 

$5 will be donated by our partner la Vie en Rose for each message written.

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Drummondville, Gatineau, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Quebec City and Sherbrooke. More than 400 women a year are committed to taking action through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. They graduate with a better understanding of their strengths and skills, as well as the knowledge and tools to implement their professional project. Women thus begin a new journey towards financial independence through entrepreneurship, a return to school or a more fulfilling job.
