In the light of a recent spate of entrepreneurial activities, women the world over are not left out of the entrepreneurial craze as several women go out of their way to make meaning out of little things that before now did not count. Weight loss for women who have gained a lot of it brings forth a joyful and priceless moment but not many remember to share the story and impact other women with their little secret.
Entrepreneurial activities go beyond handcraft as it cuts across ideas birthed from the desire to meet a need, and solve a problem in the society. This was what prompted the setup of SECURICO Zimbabwe which was founded by Divine Ndhlukula. Here is her very inspiring startup story.

For so many people, the thought of moving from one house to the other spells a lot of stress, and for those who come into town for a short while the endless stories of bad experiences faced searching for a good apartment are always heard.

Women entrepreneurs the world over, are SUPERWOMEN. This is because they defy the odds, kick all stumbling blocks off their way, and create meaning out of the shattered and broken pieces all around them. These women always serve as an inspiration to other women who only need a piece of encouragement, to grab the reins of their lives and move ahead. Heather Henyon, Founder & Director, Women’s Angel Investor Network (WAIN), is one of those women who have chosen to be one of the SUPERWOMEN of our time. Here is her story:
Many years ago, it was really hard to pick out outstanding women who have carved a niche for themselves amidst cultural and religious hurdles in the Asian continent. However, in recent times, the tables have turned. Not only do we see women living a corporate life, but we also have them setting up innovative businesses to meet very urgent needs in their immediate and extended environment.
It is always an amazing experience to hear motivating stories from young women who despite the odds, have reached for the sky and grabbed their destinies with both hands. The story of SoleRebels Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, is one that will not only inspire women who desire to go into different forms of handiwork but will serve as one which all women can draw strength from in towing their various fields of endeavour.
