Through support from the Empowerment Through Enterprise grant, adolescent girls at the Queen Louise Home for Children gained hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business development. Participants launched three youth-led businesses producing Madras toddler apparel, handmade jewelry, and customized beauty products and cosmetology services. Through a Youth Business Acceleration Course, expert-led workshops, and community pop-up markets, students built skills in business planning, budgeting, marketing, and customer engagement.
