South Sudan Women Entrepreneurs Executive Director appeals to the government to give business women spaces in markets to support their families.
 
Radio Bakhita quoted Jane Gordon asking government to consider women with small businesses in its future plans to support them raise income to cope with the economy.
 
She adds that women play a great role in sustaining families with their small businesses.
 
South Sudan Women Entrepreneurs’ Loan Officer, Alice Michael, encourages fellow females to do businesses.
 
She says trading does not require big qualification from school or university.
