Dear Madam/Sir,
Thank you for your invaluable support in training, consulting, and financing women and youth entrepreneurs who have already started businesses.
I would like to inquire about your plans for financing ideas. Many women have strong business plans but face financial constraints that hinder implementation. What initiatives do you have in place to support these entrepreneurs?
Thank you for your attention.
