Project
Description

One of the project
started is an econ
omic empowerment project for the women that we work with. It
consists of bike rental business and soon to be a bike shop. Women have
received from our partner Globalbike a number of bikes that they are using for their
women empowerment group. The main use is a bike rental business that has proved
very successful. As the project has shown good results, the idea they have is
to expand it with a proper bike shop. They have already increased the number of
bikes and now would like to increase the services (spare parts sales, bike
repairs, bike sales, rental…) in one shop.

This project
activities would mainly consist of:

Understanding
the current status of the business, and bicycles. Discuss next steps with
women involved and report
Help
the women with current challenges: unpaid fees, recording system, repair
system, sparepart system and see how it could be improved taking into
account the bike shop structure
Ensure
the good communication and collaboration between the women involved and
the architecture group that will build the bike shop
Support
the women with the bike shop business plan with the help of our
entrepreneurship development coordinator
Support
the women with the practical implementation of the business plan
Support
the women develop a transparent and fluid business management process with
clear and regular communication of results to the wider women group
Support
the women with a market and sales analysis to quickly identify successful
products/services
Find
potential improvements for the everyday operations of the bike shop and
the different bike rentals.
