Khalala: Empowering Basotho Women
Entrepreneurship has the power to transform lives and communities. But for women entrepreneurs, the journey can often be filled with unique challenges. That's why I was deeply inspired to be a part of the Khalala project, a remarkable initiative by Standard Lesotho Bank in collaboration with Inspire Innovation Consultants.
Building a Platform for Success
Khalala empowers Basotho women entrepreneurs by connecting them with each other and crucial support organisations. As a communication consultant, I had the privilege of creating the program's website – a vibrant online hub designed to be more than just an information portal.
​
The Khalala website functions as a multifaceted platform, offering:
-
eLearning Courses: Aspiring and established entrepreneurs can access valuable courses to hone their business skills.
-
Thriving Membership Community: Women can connect, network, and share experiences, create a spirit of collaboration and support.
-
Event Calendar: Stay up-to-date on workshops, webinars, and other inspiring events designed to propel their businesses forward.
​
Witnessing the Khalala community flourish with over 300 women-led organisations actively engaged on the platform has been incredibly rewarding. It's a testament to the power of collective action and the boundless potential of women in business. I remain deeply passionate about supporting women entrepreneurs and look forward to seeing the continued impact of the Khalala project.
