Essential

Small Business Training

Idea Submission for The People's Money:
Create community-based small business training for Muslim immigrants, delivered in the languages they understand best (such as Arabic, Bangla, Urdu, Pashto, or Somali). Training sessions would take place in trusted local spaces—community centers, mosques, cultural organizations—and would cover essential topics like business planning, licensing, marketing, and financial management.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Muslim immigrants are often excluded from small business training opportunities because most programs are not offered in the languages they speak or in culturally familiar community spaces. This language barrier prevents Muslim entrepreneurs from accessing important information about starting, managing, and growing a small business.
