Saf7a Bayda aims to help women start small businesses from home in order to become financially independent and spend more time with the family. INTRODUCTION: Lebanese women entrepreneurs are building vibrant and innovative businesses all over the country. However, to succeed and expand, they need a helping hand. Women entrepreneurs are our greatest hope in growing Lebanon’s economy. PURPOSE: There are 3 main problems in society that we would like to solve: 1. Kids raised with domestic help or grandparents 2. Fathers working late or abroad 3. Broken families that negatively affect ethical standards TARGET MARKET Lebanese women Preferred age: 30-50 No access to training programs due to time, money, or social challenges Women financially dependent on men (father, husband, son…) Passionate to start a business Serious and motivated to make a difference THE PROGRAM This program aims to help women become financially independent by creating small businesses that would enable them to earn an income from $500 to $5,000/month. The end result could be either men helping their wives in their businesses, or working less and investing more time to reestablish family bonds and recreate strong relationships. All businesses aim to create job opportunities in their areas.
