The program has taught me that a well-rounded approach is best as my business has had a lot of success thanks to a combination of learning new skills, marketing my business and also working hard.

My business has completely changed the lives of everyone in my family. Now that I have a better income our food security has improved and my children have better access to education.

It fills me with happiness that I have been able to start building a business thanks to the support of this program. I hope it continues to grow and helps improve my families living standard.

I now know how important it is to keep your animals healthy. I have been able to learn about and use vaccinations, organic food and creating better shelters for them, this knowledge helping my business flourish.

During the program I realised how important my customers are. I learnt about lots of marketing activities and improved my customer service and now I have a much larger customer base.

Thanks to the program my family and I have been able to work hard together on the business and it has brought us much closer. As I have been able to increase my income I have also been able to provide for them.

As I had very little business experience it was hard at the start to understand some aspects of operating a business. However, as the program moved on I was able to learn more and now I enjoy being a business owner.

Building a business is one of the most difficult things I have ever done but it has had the greatest reward for both myself and my family. I could not have done it without your support so thank you!

There are many business skills I have been able to learn from the program that I will have for the rest of my life so thank you very much for the support!

Even though my business is new it has filled me with hope that I will be able to create a better life for myself and my family.

The Village Entrepreneur program provides so many benefits to people living in remote areas that do not have access to other training and services. I am so thankful for being given the opportunity to participate.

I have been able to achieve a great deal so far with my time in the program and both me and my family are looking forwards at our long term goals, especially for our children.
