"I've had simple plans for more than 10 years now that i couldn't accomplish due to lack of financial support. With this grant, I can live all of my dreams" Perpetual, Dressmaker.
We've just enrolled 26 new businesses across Lawra and Nandom into our Enterprise programme! With a grant, plus targeting training and mentoring - these entrepreneurs will thrive.
Creating opportunities for people to launch and grow businesses, increase profits and employ others is at the heart of our work. Change ripples out and impacts the whole community.
We wish Perpetual, and all of this new cohort (our biggest yet!) all the success.
