Join us as we share stories from young women who are shaping the social entrepreneurship ecosystem and leading change in their communities in Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda. Hear from YCI staff, partners and volunteers about their work supporting women entrepreneurs on the HerStart program. Each episode has been produced with support from fellows who have volunteered to share and gain skills to enhance the HerStart program. YCI launched the HerStart Innovate the Future program in 2020 as part of our initiative to advance women's equality globally. HerStart is funded in part by the Government of Canada to progress Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy.
