The Business Readiness Program for Faith-Based Entrepreneurs blends practical business strategies with spiritual guidance. It equips individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to start, grow and manage a business, while also integrating principles of faith and values into their entrepreneurial journey. It aims to increase the entrepreneurs’ economic mobility and financial independence while equally prioritizing the sense of purpose in their business endeavors and impact on their communities.
The Business Readiness Program for Faith-Based Entrepreneurs is the result of a partnership between Caravanserai Project – Women Add Value.
