Public Engagement

I am a co-founder of a social enterprise that provides business skills, mentorship and financial support to unemployed single mothers with low/no education in Ghana to start and/or scale up existing businesses. We offer training on identifying innovative niches, customer service and basic financial management practices, which my Team and I found to be some of the key challenges that affect the sustainability of ventures previously owned by some of the women we work with.
