Previously, we haven't charged for our YWCA O‘ahu marketplaces. However, recently YWCA O‘ahu lost a vital federal grant that helped sustain our small business programs. Despite this setback, our commitment to Hawai‘i’s women entrepreneurs remain unwavering. We believe in the power of women lifting each other up, and we’re determined to continue providing the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive.

By joining the YWahine in Business Marketplace, you’re not just showcasing your business — you're helping to build a stronger, more resilient community of wāhine-led businesses. All proceeds go directly toward supporting YWCA Oahu’s small business programs
