Abstract: Entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in empowering women, particularly single mothers who often face significant economic and social challenges. This paper aims to explore entrepreneurship as a mechanism for empowering single mothers through a structured training program, hands-on activities, and continuous mentoring. Grounded in key theoretical frameworks including Empowerment Theory, the Social Entrepreneurship Model, Adult Learning (Andragogy), and the Business Model Canvas, the program is designed to enhance participants’ self-confidence, business knowledge, and resilience in managing entrepreneurial ventures. The training modules cover business planning, basic financial management, digital marketing, and personal leadership, delivered through interactive and practical approaches. The program is expected to increase single mothers’ participation in entrepreneurship while reducing dependency on external financial assistance. This paper proposes that such empowerment-focused entrepreneurship programs be scaled nationally as a sustainable strategy to foster economically independent, productive, and resilient communities of women.
