Seven months have passed since we initiated our project. Until now, 40 women has been formed as well as materials have been produced to improve their knowledge on financial and entrepreneur matters while they have received the necessary tools to convert their produces and trades into productive business.
For the first four months our project was supported by various donors as reported before. However, although we have not received donations since March, we remain incontact with our women, providing them with opportunities to connect with sources of knowledge to enhance what they already know. A team of university Accounting students have provided simple financial product structure models for these ladies to easily understand products cost structure and break even point. Considering most of these ladies have not even reached high school, these are great tools which look forward to simplify their understanding. They have also received preparation with soft personal behaviour tools to improve their performance: communications, speech, team work, and sales.
