Mentorship for women entrepreneurs in Eswatini

Guiding women entrepreneurs through the basics of business, from mentoring to coaching, personal development, marketing, sales insights and business training is very important. Without embedding confidence in their abilities to drive business forward, these entrepreneurs cannot progress, therefore, self-belief gained through mentorship is as important as imparting core business skills.

Imbita Swaziland Women’s Finance Trust

Imbita Swaziland Women’s Finance Trust is a non-governmental organization established in 1991. It provides micro-finance services for poverty alleviation and women economic empowerment. Its services cater for women in the lower income groups. They must become members to access its services and participate in its activities. 

ISWFT promotes the culture of saving for needs such as school fees, farming inputs and starting or expanding a business. Regular savers get loans after completing the Imbita business management workshop. Borrowers do not necessarily have to meet the criteria for conventional bank loans in terms of collateral.
