“This has been an amazing experience,” observed Victoria Kisyombe, an entrepreneur who founded a leasing company in Tanzania to help other entrepreneurs gain access to the coolers and freezers, sewing machines, baking ovens, gravel-making machines, or tractors and trucks they needed to pursue their dreams. “It is a business that allows me to give to others, but has simultaneously contributed so much to my own personal development.” Victoria’s experience is both unique and commonplace throughout the emerging economies and developing countries. Myriad women entrepreneurs have launched a business, some in response to a perceived opportunity, many out of necessity given a lack of viable alternatives.
