Nairobi ‘Slum’ Women to Receive Entrepreneurial Training

The Catholic University of Eastern Africa has initiated an entrepreneurial training programme for women traders in Kenya’s two largest slums.

The training will target women from the Kibera and Mathare slums in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

The women will be equipped with entrepreneurship skills through courses like business planning, cashbook maintenance, marketing and the use of information technology, especially e-mail and the internet.

The Catholic University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor John Maviiri, said his institution will offer the training as a one year programme. (CK)
