Overview
The Challenge
BelEve, dedicated to the growth and empowerment of girls and young women aged 8 to 22, identified a need for focused entrepreneurial guidance within their demographic. They sought to equip these young women with the skills necessary to either breathe life into nascent business ideas or fortify existing ventures, thereby fostering both independence and confidence.
The Solution:
Embracing this challenge, BelEve engaged Hustle & Heels to craft and execute a specialised 12-week Incubator Programme, aptly named "BelEve in Her Side Hustle." This initiative was meticulously structured to serve as a crucible for entrepreneurial aspiration, where participants aged 16-21 could acquire, refine, and implement business strategies under expert supervision.
The Results:
The "BelEve in Her Side Hustle" Incubator not only illuminated the path to entrepreneurship but also instilled the requisite skills and knowledge these young women needed to navigate it confidently. By providing a robust support framework for their ideas, the programme has played a pivotal role in shaping self-sufficient, empowered businesswomen ready to etch their marks on the world, celebrating each milestone along their entrepreneurial journey. This initiative underscores BelEve's commitment to inspiring young females, enabling them to envisage and attain their fullest potential.
