About this person
Essma Ben Hamida is a Tunisian schoolteacher, journalist and entrepreneur. After opening and operating a branch of the Tunisian news agency TAP at the UN Headquarters in New York, she returned to Tunisia and together with her British husband, Michael Cracknell, founded Enda inter-arabe in 1990 on the basis of Enda Third World. As Enda Tamweel, it has since become a highly successful microfinance institution for women, admitting men providing their wives act as guarantors. In 2010, Ben Hamida was honoured as "Outstanding Social Entrepreneur in the Middle East and North Africa" by the Schwab Foundation and the World Economic Forum.
