Sisters Blended Value Project (SBVP) Empowers Catholic Sisters Across Africa: Training Social Enterprise Leaders for Sustainable Impact

Between 17^th and 21^st July 2023, the Sisters’ Blended Value Project (SBVP) trained 21 Catholic sisters from Uganda in Level 2 of the Managing Social Enterprises Programme.

This Uganda cohort came after the Kenya cohort which ran between 10^th to 14^th July and saw 27 sisters go through the same Programme. This week, the Programme moves to Zambia and will run between 24^th to 28^th July 2023.

The Managing Social Enterprises Programme is structured to equip sisters in managerial cadres with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and abilities to address current social enterprise issues and challenges creatively, innovatively, and sustainably.

By the end of the Programme, the sisters gained an understanding of how to effectively contribute to and engage proactively in a social enterprise and engage the manager in reflecting on issues of impact and income.

The Sisters Blended Value Project (SBVP) is funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and implemented by Strathmore University Business School (SBS) in partnership with the Association of Consecrated Women in Eastern and Central Africa (ACWECA).
