Women Top Economic Contribution

Makgato said this at the launch of the Sefhare branch of Women’s Finance House Botswana (WFHB) last week that women strive, through small business, to support their families despite the challenges that they had to contend with in life. “However, this has not always been a piece of cake since they always have to overcome some challenges that come with being a woman and as such they ought to be supported and encouraged,” she said.

She said she appreciated organisations such as WFHB that continued to support women financially to start businesses and teach them business management. “Therefore it is my pleasure today to open WFHB centre in my area which will, without a doubt, bring about tremendous change to the women of this area, as it will address some of the major difficulties and constraints that hamper the success of the SMME sector,” she added.
