For the past few weeks, we have been engaging in topics that build foundation to different dynamics of running business on a day to day basis. Research from different development entities shows that lack of business management skills is one of the major challenges facing women entrepreneurs in the African continent today hence programs like Khalala exist to bridge the gap.
If you have been following Khalala, you are aware that we have recently launched weekly profiles for women entrepreneurs in Lesotho. This is to encourage more women to enter the space and take up the challenge by learning from those who are already making moves.
