After almost a year of facing flexible and not flexible weeks of obliged quarantine periods, some days have been dedicated to build a new way to deliver Entrepreneur Women Committee, the program we had applied through the years to guide our women in building the blocks for their own businesses based on the best practices and skills needed to succeed in any productive area they are prepared for.
This initiative has not been an easy task considering the lack of a strong internet connectivity and other infrastructure weaknesses present and not avoidable in our country that are out of our control. However, when crisis is on the table, imagination blows-up for solutions, thus our team have worked to find teaching alternatives that have frequently exceeded our own expectations. Women Entrepreneur or Women for development are programs devoted to help women succeed in every commercial and small business areas. Some cohorts were graduated through the years thanks to the support received by donors on this platform helping many women to succesfully continue with producing and selling their goods and services.
The last two cohorts were held at the end of November and te first week of December 2020. Now we have launched a new opportunity for learning through an on line forum which will be held on February 21, 22 and 23 through a What's app chat. We expect to reach a group of at least 25 women connected to these series.
Thanks to the support of donors along 2020 we were able to promote entrepreneurship within the most vulnerable women population while persisting in the purpose originally described in the project content finding alternative connection ways.
