The Founder: The experience that I acquired in training and travel dates back to my travels in over 50 countries and to three years of management through Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea where I held the position of International Coordination and Entrepreneurial Trainer in a reputed NGO and that is why my love for travel and having 5 years of transferable skills such as people relationship management/leadership in both public and private sectors, address the fun Train & Travel part of my project. Having a straightforward personality gives me the ability to lead teams and create an environment oriented towards trust, open communication, creative thinking and cohesive team training. I am skilled at coaching and supporting members of staff from all areas of the business and creating training programmes that meet the company’s targets for the services they provide.

Your business model (how do you make money?)
Who’s your target customer?
Women Travellers: Professional Women living in Europe over 24 years old with 1+ year of work experience. HR/Training background – Business Owner or Managing a business, specialist of a field/task.
Women Entrepreneurs: Women that own a formal business in Niger, Ghana, Togo or Benin.
What customer problem or challenge do you solve?
Women faces gender-based, bureaucracy, financial backing barriers (to cite a few more) in the formal sector thus holding them back not getting training resources to improve their business. All these barriers prevent women entrepreneurs from providing employment thus not sustainable for the economy. These barriers that keep women from starting up a business can be overcome in many ways. An option that we identify to overcome these barriers is using international solidarity through tourism & professional training as a mean for helping a business owner to improve a service, products, team work and management styles within her business. International Solidarity is to us a mean to bring together women that have common interest from whom they can learn.
We consider that it is the responsibility of each and everyone no matter the nationality, race and gender to transfer its skills in a country where development opportunities are slow due to education and vocational training missing, lacking, or not accessible to a person, a community or an enterprise from a developing country. Therefore AfroWomenEntrepreneurs should be given equal access of training resources to grow their business.
