By the time I enrolled for the Women Economic Empowerment Training, my business was on the verge of collapsing but from the training, I learnt how to keep records and manage profits. I used the money I was given to increase the stock for my business and since then my profits have doubled.” Marion is a grocery seller in Gatwekera.
"The training and grant I received from Garden of Hope Foundation were very impactful. I learnt how to keep records, and manage profits. I used the loan to buy more quality materials which I could not afford earlier. My customer base has increased as well as my profits’’. Janet is a small scale tailor at Bombolulu.
In 2022, we trained 55 women in two cohorts on 5 different business management areas. These areas were: record keeping, resource assessment, market research, feasibility study, and sustainability. We also included soft technical skills like home-made detergent, home-made bleach, fabric softener, and value addition of potatoes and bananas into crisps that can lead to income generation. All the women qualified for funding . They were given a start-up capital of KES 50,000 each.
In 2023, we hope to support 100 young mothers to go through the program. Your support this Festive Season will ensure that each life is transformed.
