At D.I.S.H.A., we believe in the power of hands-on learning to shape successful entrepreneurs. Our approach is designed to equip youth with practical skills and real-world experience. Here’s how we do it:
D.I.S.H.A. is a personalized 6-month program, primarily conducted online with a few in-person bootcamps. Each online session comes with assignments tailored to advance your business idea and enhance clarity. Throughout the program, you will participate in four monthly sessions with seasoned entrepreneurs who have faced similar challenges and will provide practical guidance, address your specific issues, and support your journey. From the second week, you’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor who will offer ongoing, personalized support to help you succeed.
Our goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles and succeed, so you can create opportunities and inspire other youths within your community.
