Boost for women with disabilities

WOMEN with disabilities are set to benefit from an initiative aimed at empowering them through a social entrepreneurship programme launched in Harare recently.

The Women’s Academy for Leadership and Political Excellence (WALPE) programme, titled Empower, Lead for Gender Equality, focuses on equipping participants with essential business skills and financial discipline.

The training sessions cover a range of topics, including budgeting, saving money and the importance of financial planning, while participants were encouraged to develop business ideas that leverage on their unique strengths and experiences.
