When women gain the skills and tools to build businesses, entire communities benefit. 🇨🇲
Today in Mindif, 150 women entrepreneurs from the WEFN network received certificates and dairy-processing start-up kits through @PNUDCameroun support.
The goal: turn skills into income, enterprise and opportunity, strengthening livelihoods and local economies in Mayo-Kani.
