BUSINESS START-UP Guides
Making Sustainable Education Simpler
Starting student enterprises is a great way for students to generate extra income and provide students a chance to learn valuable practical and business skills.While there are lots of obvious businesses that almost all college students in developing countries could try - like keeping chickens - there are lots of more unusual possibilities too.
The COLLEGE BUSINESS START-UP series of 2 page guides aims to provide schools looking to start up their own enterprises with some alternative ideas for business activities to consider.
Each guide provides some basic facts about the product, what you need to get started, costs, and potential for income generation - along with links to websites where you can get more detailed information if needed.
The great thing about many of these businesses is that they serve a double purpose. A student with a educational toys business can use the busienss experience to enahnce ones own leaning. It can also be used to enhance others learnng too.
Similarly a school which sells solar cookers can save parents money on firewood meaning they can pay their fees more easily, or or use their savings to buy school books - as well as the environment of course!
