Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development

Entrepreneurship Development

We ignite the spirit of innovation by equipping individuals—especially women—with the tools to build and grow their own businesses. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and access to resources, we turn ideas into income and ambition into sustainable success.
