Today, the first two-day business refresher course was held with 17 young mothers, co-facilitated by Maryknoll Lay Missioner, Michael Leen, and EBLI staff, Lucy Metha. The participants selected the discussion topics based upon their areas of need and what would most help them in the management of their business. Areas of focus included: the meaning of entrepreneurship, understanding and identifying customer needs and personal skills, estimating start-up costs, financial management, separating start-up and ongoing activities, selecting a business location, preparations for selling, record keeping, marketing, customer service and business expansion. Tea and lunch were provided for all participants.
OUR LATEST ACTIVITIES
At EBLI we are always trying to improve the activities and services we provide. One piece of feedback that received last year from young mothers is that it would be helpful to them if we offered a business refresher course for those who have already completed computer literacy and business skills training, and are currently in business be it employed or self-employed. The idea is to further economically empower these young mothers by continuing to help them hone their entrepreneurial skills. So for this year, EBLI has planned two business refresher courses to cater to this identified need, with each course being two full days in length. Today, the first two-day business refresher course was held with 17 young mothers, co-facilitated by Maryknoll Lay Missioner, Michael Leen, and EBLI staff, Lucy Metha.
