Why Sherketna?

Imagine building a company at fifteen, learning entrepreneurship by doing, seeing life differently… and tasting profit for the first time.

That is where Sherketna came from: a hands-on experience that took schoolgirls from the idea to planning, then to producing and selling at real school bazaars. We gave them seed funding (200 dinars as company capital) to launch their projects, then supported them in understanding the market, pricing, dealing with customers and making decisions.

The impact did not stop at the project: the girls put part of their profits into improving their schools’ facilities, turning success from a personal gain into an impact on the whole school.
