The project had a mandate to train Eight Thousand (8,000) MSMEs, Returnees and Potential migrants in Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy in Ghana. The She Hub Ghana collaborated with NBSSI to implement this project. Under this project, 4,800 Returnees, Potential Migrants and MMSEs were trained Ashanti, Brong Ahafo and Greater Accra Regions.
The training activities equips skilled workers (women) such as dressmakers, hairdressers and beauticians as well as other women entrepreneurs who are into purchase and supplies with needed business management skills. The women are also educated on what to look out for before working with a financial institution. The project also educates beneficiaries on the types of financial institutions in their jurisdictions and how best to select a financial institution that would suit their businesses.
We expose clients to like-minded successful entrepreneurs who had been through similar experiences and have survived to serve as mentors and motivation. These mentors guide our beneficiaries on best practices to ensure their businesses grow on sustainable basis. At SheHub, we neither judge nor make beneficiaries feel bad. Our business coaching is done using our BDS system as indicated above
