Business Training in Kenya

The aim of business training is to improve business performance for businesses ran by women. This means that

SMEs led by women become more profitable and impact the quality of life for not only the women but their families as well due to the availability of a higher disposable income. 
Many Organisations in Kenya are investing in capacity building for businesswomen to help solve the issue of under-performance of women owned businesses, mainly attributed to limited access to capital and lack of skills.
