Young Women Entrepreneurs Pave the Way in Senegal

These three young women started a business together after participating in Jeunes Agriculteurs, a project supported through IYF’s YouthMap initiative, in partnership with the US Agency for International Development and Synapse Center. From 2013 to 2014, the project provided 320 rural Senegalese youth, ages 16 to 29, with training in entrepreneurship, agriculture, and life skills—along with access to learning exchanges, innovation labs, mentoring, networking, and resources such as where to locate financial services.
