The FATE Foundation and Google Business Resilience Program for Women Entrepreneurs

Opportunities For Africans

  FATE Foundation and Google.org are partnering to organize the Business Resilience Program for women entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa. This initiative is part of Google’s ‘SSA Women Entrepreneurship Program’, and targets women who run nano and micro businesses in three countries, including Nigeria. It will provide them with micro-grants, and train them in financial management, business plan development, digital marketing, business networking, and confidence building. It will also train them to access funding from lenders.

This program is aimed at women entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 55 years. It consists of two phases. Phase one will be a self-paced, 4-week program, which will also give participants access to a business plan developer tool.
