The Small Business Association of Barbados (SBA), in partnership with the Bureau of Gender Affairs, recently celebrated the successful completion of another cohort of the EmpowerHer: Building Futures Through Entrepreneurship Programme, with 41 women receiving certificates during a ceremony held at Pelican House.

The presentation marked the culmination of an intensive entrepreneurship programme designed to equip women with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills required to establish and grow sustainable businesses.

EmpowerHer forms part of the SBA’s ongoing commitment to strengthening women’s participation in entrepreneurship and advancing economic empowerment through strategic partnerships. The programme brought together women who either own start up operations or aspire to launch their own enterprises, representing a diverse range of industries including social media management, culinary arts, landscaping, concierge and travel services, make-up artistry, floral design and skincare.
