Advancing Rural Entrepreneurship in Rwanda Through Informal Training – Insights From Paulo Freire’s <i>Pedagogy of the Oppressed</i>
Summary. Informal entrepreneurship training through village savings and loan associations in rural Rwanda empowers participants to make better decisions and improve their livelihoods. Using Paulo Freire's pedagogy framework, the study shows how CARE International's train-the-trainer approach and peer dialogue at weekly meetings create both economic and socio-cultural value. This qualitative research reveals how VSLAs emancipate rural entrepreneurs beyond just financial outcomes.
