Seaweed Catalogue- Women Entrepreneurs in Belize
As the pandemic battered livelihoods, many entrepreneurs had their one source for sustenance and income stripped off. In response, BELTRAIDE with funding from the International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) - Taiwan launched The Belize Female Entrepreneurship Program - Covid Relief for Women in Emerging Industries Project to support female entrepreneurs in the seaweed industry who were affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The project provided much-needed guidance and knowledge in running and growing a business and seed capital grants to expand their capabilities that could lead to increased income, employment, and rebound the economy of Belize. The project nurtured the small businesses and equipped them with the necessary tools to overcome the negative effects of the pandemic.
Recognizing the tremendous progress of the seaweed entrepreneurs and their products, the BELTRAIDE team created a seaweed catalogue showcasing a diverse array of seaweed products such as skin care, body oils, beverages, health and wellness, which have been developed by talented women who use the power of the sea to nourish, sustain, and inspire.
This is a vibrant tapestry woven with the stories of passionate entrepreneurs who are transforming the ocean's bounty into sustainable success. This comprehensive catalogue is celebrating the dynamic world of Belizean seaweed.
