For female fashion entrepreneurs in Africa, owning and operating your own fashion company or enterprise can be challenging especially as a sole owner. While you may be adept at the technical aspects of the job, the entrepreneurial requirements can be a different ball game altogether.
You might be unsure of the appropriate course of action to take to position your company for the future as you look to expand your operation to a new demographic or to a new region. Having a mentor on your side to help set you on the right path to success can make all the difference in the world.
La Carica Delle 101, a non-profit community, is offering African female fashion entrepreneurs this opportunity. Through the La Carica 4 Africa entrepreneurship program, they are calling on interested persons to apply for a free online mentorship program to help them unlock opportunities in the fast-growing fashion sector.
The Italy-based non-profit organization is made up of female professional entrepreneurs of all backgrounds and ages looking to provide support to other women.
