The 3-month entrepreneurship program at Development Education Action transformed my journey. Starting a business once felt overwhelming, but the clear lessons and supportive trainers gave me the skills and confidence to launch my own. I am now running a small business and excited to grow, thanks to the knowledge and encouragement I received.
