Education to empower girls and women

For the last couple of months we decided to go back to on-line programs. From our in-person program evaluations, together with further conversational interviews we had with prospective students, we learned the majority of our students prefer on-line education, as it allows them to fulfill their multiple responsibilities as entrepreneurs, mothers and with their day jobs. We also learned; women highly benefit from coaching. We have noticed coaching has allowed women to incorporate their recently acquired skills as entrepreneurs into their ventures.

Our focus has been on coaching women to learn how to train their minds. Our partnership with Comfama, has provided us with additional funding to hired an amazing life and executive coach specialized in guiding entrepreneurial women to make their dreams a reality as they accomplish their goals.

As part of this process two cohorts of woman food entrepreneurs have successfully finalized our recently launched renewed intensive online Cocinando Sueños course and coaching program. Women have launched and or renovated their product, and most importantly duplicated their sales. Our students, have reported to have undergone a personal and professional transformation, as well as their ventures as the program has provided them with the skills and tool-kits, and most importantly it has allowed them to challenge their once limited mindsets and propel their entrepreneurial minds.

As we reach the end of 2022 we continue to be very grateful for all the support and hard work of our team, our donors, partners, sponsors and volunteers. This support as allowed us to improve our program in terms of content, delivery, professors and coaches, such that it best addresses the needs of entrepreneurial Colombian women in need in the food industry, increasing their income, improving their quality of life and that of their families.

As we approach Giving Tuesday, we continue to very much welcome your generous donations as support such that we can further our impact, by increasing the number of scholarships and financial aid spots.
