Who we are: Artistri Sud is a Montreal-based registered charity founded in 2009 in Montreal to support women’s empowerment around the world. We help women create sustainable livelihoods for themselves, their families and their communities by building their capacity as individuals and entrepreneurs.  The women learn essential business and life skills to help them run their micro-enterprises more effectively, enabling them to generate increased revenues and improve their standard of living in a sustainable way.

What we do: Artistri Sud has capacity-building entrepreneurship training projects in Asia and Latin America and plans to expand to Africa over the next five years. In 2021, we will deliver our flagship Artistri Sud Social Entrepreneurship Training (ASSET) program in Hanoi, Vietnam. Artistri Sud has been present in Vietnam since 2017; this is the fourth training we are implementing. We have trained more than 130 women from different ethnic minorities, mostly from the north of Vietnam.
