Meet the Change Agent - Leah Oviedo

Investing in Women is a place for Empowering Women through education and appreciation.  The goal of this site is to invest in Women around the world from big cities to remote communities.  IIW encourages collaboration between business owners across borders and oceans.


By investing in women, who are often the caregivers of the home, we can show children that both women and men can provide for the family in a financial manner.

Investing In Women was created by Leah Oviedo, a successful business owner in Encinitas, CA.  She has kindly shared with us her story and that of IIW. She will inspire you to be the change you want to see. Listen to this inspiring woman:




She has a background in website design and owns a retail business, Mercado del Mundo.  Coming from a family of successful women business owners she wanted to give back and support other women business owners.

IIW started in the spring of 2008 with a few pages of business resources and a blog celebrating women.

Realizing that she could accomplish more by collaborating with other business owners, Leah opened the official website in February of 2009. Since then visitors to the site have increased every month, the blog has become more popular and a monthly newsletter was received by over 200 women and men the first month.

Over 50 business owners have submitted valuable resources and articles to create a rich resource of business tools and advice for other small business owners.

We encourage you to share this website with your network. As more people learn about Investing In Women,  we will be able to offer several micro-grants each year to deserving business owners.
