“ TheMENTORpreneur program for me was such a vital stepping stone in my entrepreneurship journey as it exposed me to certain things I wasn’t aware of and overall learning how to manage a business. I wasintroduced to a strategic business tool called a business canvas model which was a game changer for me because it helped me understand the various aspects of my business. Thanks to the mentor I was paired with who really opened up my mind and shared so many
business insights including marketing strategies and tactics. It was such an honor being chosento be a part of the MENTORpreneur program and I would definitely encourage entrepreneurs that are just starting out to consider the program.”— Wana Kazenzi

“I acquired problem-solving skills, opportunity seeking and taking initiative, taking calculated risks amongst other skills. For instance after singling out market access/low sales revenues as a challenge using. My mentor & I looked at the two challenges separately.
1.Lowsales revenues
2.Market expansion
I took my products to Livingstone and after going to a number of hotels and resorts I was able to get our products into Radisson blu resort mosi-au-tunya. I have learnt to be proactive and resilient, always looking out for professional and personal opportunities for further growth. I particularly enjoyed the holisticapproach of the program, the flexibility of the relationship between my mentor
and I, we set our own pace, set goals and worked towards them. I enjoyed brainstorming solutions. Overall looking at the milestones we set am optimistic that as I achieve them it will result in the growth and expansion of the enterprise”— Nyawa Chipalabela
