A uniquely engaging approach to entrepreneurial training for use in developing communities.

Training Materials Shot SLI2019Tanya-155

Neema's Elemental Business Development Course was created in response to high levels of unemployment and poverty within developing nations. Our premier product, this off-the-shelf 16 module, 70 hour curriculum can be conducted over the course of several days or several months depending on preference. Our training methodology is extremely engaging, hands-on, and readily applicable to the lives of emerging entrepreneurs. Neema created our business training course as a practical means of fostering economic opportunity in order to prevent and mitigate poverty-related injustices.  Our hope is that individuals and families will gain the stability and freedom necessary to pursue hopeful and prosperous futures. Participants graduating from the EBD course are eligible to receive a certificate and will have completed a full business plan.

“After this training there was a big revolution in my life and I have started my own business (sewing center). I have learned many things like color schemes and designing - I was really very encouraged after attending this training and I have applied these new ideas to my business. Through this training I came to know how to utilize my abilities and also am now fulfilling my needs on my own.”
