Editor,

Thank you for featuring Loretta Mbabazi, who operates a children’s clothes store, Earth and Child, in your Youth and Business series.

Employment is all countries always starts with small businesses. It could be interesting if we know what Rwanda and the international community are doing as far as financing for start-up enterprises is concerned. If no such funding exists, then the government and private sector need to provide funding for such enterprises.
