Make a Lasting Impact
Business professionals have the opportunity to significantly contribute to an entrepreneur's business growth at a crucial juncture in her enterprise. Working with a small business owner in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, or any other developing nation in the Global South is a possibility.
Giving a woman entrepreneur access to your business expertise will help her become more self-assured, perform better in her business, acquire new skills, and make a big difference in her life, family, community, and beyond.
