The PEWOSA Ecosystem

The PEWOSA program presents business development opportunities targeting rural communities especially Women and Youth; the victims of financial vulnerability. From village level savings associations (VLSA) to the now formed CBS PEWOSA Groups, the Trade Fair is the rejoinder that stimulates establishment and growth of small businesses.
