Two Sisters Working To Empower Women to Become Entrepreneurs in Jamaica
A New Batch of Women Entrepreneurs in Jamaica weight in on the recent results of a study
stating that Jamaica is the worst place for female entrepreneurs.
The Jamaica Gleaner recently published a study conducted by the Women’s’ Entrepreneurial
Venture Scope, Jamaica was at the bottom of the list of best places for female entrepreneurs.
Jamaica ranks below average when it comes to access to finance and the availability of capacity
and skill training for women.
Internet Income Jamaica, led by sisters, Alicia Lyttle and Lorette Lyttle, is working to help
reverse the pitfalls that restrain women entrepreneurs in Jamaica – especially when it comes to
women earning a viable income. They are providing training and workshops that will enable
women to use their existing knowledge and skills and develop new skills that will enable them
to earn an income online.
“With the help and support of Utech ,we are very excited to help make a change in Jamaica. As
the report states, Jamaicans (in particular women), will have a very tough time if they are
looking towards the local economy to earn a living, especially as an entrepreneur.” states Alicia
Lyttle. “That is exactly why we want to help Jamaicans leverage the power of the Internet and
earn money from the global economy, working from home, then spending the money locally to
grow the local economy.”
“The success stories we get on a regular basis is what keeps us coming back,” says Lorette
Lyttle. “We have women who have gone through out bootcamps that are as young as 13 years
old and up to the age of 65 years old, both earning a steady income working online. We have
some students that have to turn jobs away because they have too many opportunities! Can you
imagine that!” says Lorette.
“I went to the boot camp in July and I am now at the point where I have to be turning down
jobs because I already have so much work to do! I'm happy I confirmed a 30 hour/per week
post this past week and I have 2 other clients that I work with regularly. I am officially a work at
home mom now. I am so thankful to Alicia & Lorette for bringing this opportunity to us here in
Jamaica!” Zunammie Sergeant-Keren
“I’m 65 years old and at my age, it’s almost impossible to find a job in Jamaica. After the class I
quickly got a part-time job working from home for a company in Australia. I love it and they
love my work! I’m interviewing to work with a company in Dubai as well. I don’t know how I
would have made extra money without Alicia & Lorette brining this training to Jamaica. I’m very
grateful to them. Beryl D'Aguilar
