We are very happy and thankful for this day and for including us women in this training. We learned so much that will help us grow our businesses.”

Le Village de la Femme Executive Director Aretha Mutumwinka added, “Today, we focused on helping these women understand how they can expand their businesses and overcome limitations. We want them to envision a future where they can grow beyond their current boundaries. We do not just stop at the workshops. We plan to conduct advisory visits to ensure that these women are applying what they’ve learned and are on the path to sustainable growth.”
