Empowering Women & Leveraging MSME Development

We have been intentional about the inclusion of women and girls in our programmes and have worked with partners such as the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the Riga Business School on Entrepreneurship programs for girls which include a boot camp, training, mentorship, coaching and an academic certification. We have also worked with international partners such as UNDP, Dundee Precious Metal and CED (EU Program) to deliver services to MSMEs.
