Rafiki wa Maendeleo Trust
Business Training Success
Lilian’s entrepreneurship began with a training class offered through Rafiki wa Maendeleo Trust. In the class, she learned the concept of productive assets (e.g. chickens, goats, cows) and how these assets can provide current income and future capital for her and her family/community.
Thanks to her initial training and follow-up coaching, her children are able to attend school… Lilian sold one of her sheep to aid in payment of school fees.
Congratulations, Lilian! We look forward to watching your business continue to flourish in the years to come.
