The PEEP programme completely transformed how I think about business. I came in with a vague idea and left with a full investor-ready business plan, a working website, and the confidence to pitch to funders. The 90-day mentorship sealed it for me.
Finding an ILO-certified trainer who truly understands local business realities AND global development frameworks is rare. Jane delivered exceptional SIYB training for our youth cohort — measurable outcomes, professional delivery, real impact.
The WIDB.Start programme opened my eyes to how much revenue I was leaving on the table by not having a digital presence. Within 3 months I had doubled my customer base through Instagram and WhatsApp Business alone.
