JUSTIFICATION

Women at the grassroots level often face failed or dormant businesses because they lack access to economic opportunities such as bank loans and markets. This economic dependency keeps them in poverty and makes them vulnerable to gender-based violence, as they rely financially on their abusers, hence leaving an economic gap.

 Goal: To bridge the gender economic gap that exists between female entrepreneurs and male entrepreneurs. The women we are working with are from the age group between 14-45.

Through the project we conducted open communication

Implementation process

Community mobilization. We conducted an interception meeting to introduce the project where we invited 14 local leaders who took part in the project design. The leaders come three areas of Kigogo kati, Kigogo mukwajuni and kigogo mbuyuni.
Open community dialogues where we conducted 10 open community dialogues and reached 500 women entrepreneurs with this activity we spread information about formalization of businesses by women, the available economic opportunities and how they can be grabbed. Also they had the chance to tell us the problems they are facing in their businesses. Many of the identified challenges of lacking capital, markets the solution is centered around them formalizing their businesses.
Train of Trainers. We conducted a three-day boot camp which the sessions contained practical aspects how the formalization of businesses, the economic opportunities and how to grab them. After the session 20 women obtained the name certificates for their businesses from BRELA, 20 women obtained bank accounts in order to save, 20 women obtained digital payee numbers, 20 women were aided in opening up business.
