Testimonials
It’s very important for me as Minister and on behalf of our administration (PUP), for us to support initiatives like these. Certainly we see where these women have done something extremely innovative and creative and passionately. So they’ve actually formed an association of all very talented and brilliant, and, like I said, passionate women, who have a unique skill in whatever craft they’re doing.

Minister of Home Affairs & New Growth Industries
The initial sessions to NIME’s series were incredibly useful. As an aspiring business owner, the information presented regarding accounting is surely one that I will be putting to use. Not only were the facilitators very knowledgeable in the field, but they were also precise with the information shared for the level of their audience; the material was easy to follow and understand. NIME has done an excellent job with the series initiative. I see myself joining more to learn more about what will be useful elements to starting my business sucessfully. It is evident that the directors and members of this organization have a lot to add, sharing their knowledge and best practices to a growing community of women entrepeneurs. Well done!
Bootcamp Participant
I am a new member and already feel comfortable. The feedback is great. Whenever I'm stuck in a situation and don't know what to do concerning the business I believe I'll be able to post in the group to get a positive supportive response that will help me to make any important decision rather than making it alone in doubt. Feeling alone as an entrepreneur is a frequently common insecurity that tends to get in the way of decision making.

I wanted to express my gratitude for the fantastic Financial Literacy Bootcamp I recently participated in. The speakers were excellent, providing valuable insights and knowledge on financial matters. I would like to encourage more Belizean people to engage in these activities as they can greatly benefit individuals and their families by equipping them with the tools to make sound financial decisions. Overall, the program was extremely beneficial, and I look forward to participating in similar events in the future. Thank you for this valuable opportunity

I've come to know some of the members in more personal level. Being able to relate to all the high and lows that you're going through makes me feel less alone in the process. I'm sure many are familiar with the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child" my rendition to it is "It takes a village to raise a business".
