A good idea needs practical tools. We propose hands-on learning that helps women understand their costs, keep useful paper records and make better-informed day-to-day decisions.
Identify materials, time and other costs, then practise setting a reasoned selling price.
Use a paper cashbook to record money coming in and money going out.
Distinguish business cash from household money and plan for upcoming expenses.
Keep a practical record of orders, payments and delivery commitments.
Build a usable cost sheet with realistic, clearly explained assumptions.
Practise clear paper entries that can support everyday business decisions.
Understand the difference between sales, costs, profit and available cash.
Use individual mentoring and record review to connect learning to practical needs.
The proposed 16-week programme is designed for 50 participants in five groups. These are planning targets, not confirmed enrolment.
Six three-hour workshops per group, with guided examples, discussion and hands-on practice.
Cashbooks, cost-sheet templates, stationery and simple calculators — no computer required.
One hour of mentoring and a half-hour record review offered to each participant.
We will look for useful skills and practical evidence, rather than promise an income increase.
Compare demonstrations of costing, pricing and record-keeping at the start and end.
Review a participant cost sheet and paper cashbook, with voluntary follow-up record review.
Record actual attendance and listen to participants about relevance, access and usefulness.
Discuss supporting the proposed programme, sharing relevant expertise or exploring a delivery partnership.
