Ariziki puts female entrepreneurs in the spotlight

On March 8 – International Women’s Day – the Ariziki Incubation Center organized the “Female Entrepreneurship” forum. This initiative brought together nearly 150 women from N’Dali, Parakou and Tchaourou. A special day full of inspiration focused on entrepreneurship.

The kickoff? A creative challenge: “What can you start with 100,000 CFA (about 152 euros)?“

Five top ideas won prizes – each received start-up capital of 100,000 CFA to make their plans a reality.
This was followed by inspiring master classes and panel discussions with experts at the Ariziki Center. Practical, educational and motivating.

The icing on the cake: a mini-fair was organized on March 8 at Place Bio Guerra in Parakou. Women showed their products there, from local agro and fruit products to organic cosmetics and snacks. A great opportunity to network and make their businesses visible.

Ariziki believes in the power of women entrepreneurs. And they celebrated that.
