OUR FOCUS AND APPROACH
In RHAB-YESS, our focus and approach to young entrepreneurs and women are holistic through Capital Financing/Funding of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); Skill empowerment of Artisans and educational support to indigent students.
This approach is hinged on the fact that MSMEs are responsible for significant employment and income generation opportunities across the world. MSMEs have been identified as key drivers of poverty alleviation and development.
In developing economies, MSMEs operated by women and young entrepreneurs are the backbones of the economy. However, these businesses depend more on an enabling business environment that allows access to finance, information and the markets.
