Women Entrepreneurs of Kinshasa, DR Congo

Pitch day — twelve women presenting real businesses to a room of peers and mentors. The confidence shift is the real graduation.

Most requested module after week one: pricing. Many participants were selling below cost without realizing it. One session on unit economics changed their margins overnight. Small knowledge, big leverage.

Kinshasa is one of Africa's great informal economies — and women run enormous parts of it with zero formal support. Our program gives them the business fundamentals the market never taught: pricing, records, savings.
