Thirty-two Rupununi women have successfully completed a ‘Self-Reliance and Success in Business’ workshop held at the Indigenous Peoples Conference Hall in Lethem, Region Nine, under the auspices of the Office of the First Lady.

According to a press release from the Ministry of the Presidency, the objective of the workshop was to inspire and empower ordinary Guyanese women to tap into their entrepreneurial potential and become successful business owners. It was the third of its kind to be held and lasted for five days.

The first two programmes which were held at Good Hope and in Linden each catered to 20 women.
