Business mentorship provides financial independence to Luisa after Idai

Luisa's stall is one of the most popular among the customers in Masqul-Alto resettlement centres in the district of Búzi, central Mozambique. This is not by chance; Luisa has followed in detail the lessons in business mentoring that she has acquired through livelihoods projects implemented by World Vision, with technical support from Village Enterprise, and with funds from the United States Agency for International Development's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID BHA). Her business is one of around 800 small businesses established to enhance the economic capacity of communities with survivors of Cyclone Idai in Mozambique.
