In the vibrant community of Alte Bamboo cooperative, Zinash Wondimu, a resilient 24-year-old entrepreneur, is setting a shining example of empowerment. Zinash is not only a determined businesswoman but also a devoted mother of three children. Her journey took a significant turn when she participated in the 'Training for Trainers' program conducted by African Bamboo on August 25th in Hawassa, in collaboration with the Sidama Regional State Job, Skill, and Enterprise Development.

The program was a comprehensive exploration of essential aspects of MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) Business Management. It covered topics ranging from business and financial planning to accounting, finance, and market development. Zinash, like many women balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood, faced unique challenges. Managing her business and personal finances while being fully present for her children was a constant struggle due to the time commitment required for farm work.

The 'Training for Trainers' program turned out to be a turning point in Zinash's life. The modules on business, life skills, and financial management equipped her with the tools she needed to manage her time and finances effectively. Now, she can provide for her family and invest more time in her children's well-being.

But Zinash's journey doesn't end here. She's eager to share these invaluable lessons with other women in her community who face similar challenges. Zinash envisions a future where more women can break barriers, achieve financial independence, and balance their roles as mothers and entrepreneurs. With her newfound knowledge and determination, Zinash is not just transforming her own life; she's becoming a beacon of empowerment and hope for women in Alte Bamboo and beyond.
