Fantastic results from our programmes in Kenya

In 2021, thanks to funding from DHL Express, we ran three of our flagship programmes in Kenya – delivered with expert in-country partner Sinapis. Following an external evaluation, we’re pleased to share the project’s fantastic impacts.  

Throughout the year, our HerVenture app, Road to Growth training and newly piloted Road to Leadership training provided thousands of Kenyan women entrepreneurs with a range of learning opportunities depending on their business stage and business training needs. 

It’s estimated that sub-Saharan African economies lose $100 billion every year because of the labour market gender gap. Our programmes made a massive impact for participating women entrepreneurs and their businesses that ladders up to economic growth and greater gender equality.

Programme participants also shared their experiences and gave valuable feedback. One woman entrepreneur who participated in Road to Growth said: 

Thank you to our amazing partners for making this possible. This year, we’re continuing our work in Kenya and look forward to sharing many more achievements and supporting thousands more women entrepreneurs, and by extension their families and communities.
