In the rural and semi-urban areas, thousands of women possess valuable skills, traditional knowledge, and entrepreneurial potential. However, due to lack of resources and guidance, these women cannot leverage their capabilities for building sustainable careers.
Through our Women Entrepreneurship Program, we support the women artisans and women entrepreneurs to start and expand their own businesses by building an entrepreneurship ecosystem of entrepreneurship training, seed capital support, financial education, market linkages, and mentoring.
Entrepreneurship training on business planning, pricing, customer management, product development, and enterprise operations.
Facilitating market opportunities, customer outreach, business networking, and market connections to strengthen enterprises.
Practical training on financial literacy, budgeting, product quality, branding, packaging, and regular on-site visits to support enterprise development.
Initial capital assistance and enterprise setup support to help women establish income-generating enterprises.
I always had the skills to run a business, but I never had the opportunity. The Women Entrepreneurship Program gave me the support to take the first step. Today, I run my own enterprise and contribute to my family's future.
