Empower 100 SHEpreneurs in Rural Zimbabwe...

The Street Business School training has helped us transform the lives of women in rural communities in Zimbabwe. As we end the year 2022, we are proud to announce that 166 women graduated from the program in this year alone. Now that is what we call ending the year on a very high note... Seeing these women graduate and change the futures of their families and communities has been the highlight of the year and we are truly grateful for all the support we receive.

Coach Lorrator heard about the training from past participants in her community and she decided to take a chance with the hope of transforming her own life. Going through the six months of training and coaching, made Coach Lorrator realise the potential she never knew she had. The training was all she needed to ignite change in not only her life but also in the lifestyle of her family.

Having gone through the module called Finding Capital and Starting Small, Coach Lorrator took her few savings and started selling sweets and stationery to school children by the roadside. She was very disciplined in managing her profits and reinvested them into her micro-business. Within a couple of months, Coach Lorrator was able to afford renting shop space at the local community centre. She increased the products she offers in her shop to incude plasticware, kitchen products, baby clothes and confectionery. The coaching sessions enabled her to set goals for her business and gave her the drive to achieve them. Coach Lorrator also received support from her husband as she was establishing the business. She has been able to increase her profit to $85 a week and uses the funds to cater to the needs of her children. Coach Lorrator has so much peace knowing that she afford her children's education and healthcare needs. The quality of her life and standard of living have greatly improved...
