To provide a platform to women home-based producers both in the formal and informal sector and to enable them to brave the Covid impasse and equip them with necessary skills and information to be resilient during disasters beyond Covid, Thulo.Com together with Enterprise for Management, Economic Reform and Gender Equality (EMERGE) is implementing a project “Fostering Resilience of Women Led Businesses (including home-based women producers) and Consumers”.
Thulo.Com and EMERGE conducted a virtual inception meeting on August 18. The participants included women businesses, representatives from ministries, local government, banks, insurance, tech companies, development agencies, private sector organisations and media.
The project aims to upskill 120 women entrepreneurs and home based producers among which 40 will get access to online promotion and sales along with developing a dedicated app to disseminate information related to DRRM.
