Entrepreneurship Programme

In 1998, with the support of Global Fund for Women NVIWODA embarked on a strategic economic empowerment of women through entrepreneurship training programmes and by the end of 2002, 401 women entrepreneurs trained and developed for accelerated and successful enterprise development.

Entrepreneurship programme is a 3 weeks intensive training, which exposes semi-educated women to project identification, resource mobilization, achievement motivation, enterprise development and financial management.

Micro-Credit support Schemes

The organisation too runs a Revolving Loan Fund, whereby members buy shares, to develop a sustainable fund for its members.

In 1999, NVIWODA Developed Entrepreneurship Development and Career Support Scheme to specifically support and access micro-credit to trained women entrepreneur graduates. This enhances the saving culture, as a strategy for capital mobilization and enterprise growth of our members.
