Annette owns and operate ABK International-Africa Heritage, which is a bed and breakfast facility. Her goal is to make her business a one-stop shop tourism center.

Annette also runs a holistic fitness center, very similar to the U.S. business “Curves.” The second part of her business. She says that there are only two “decent” places in Kigali City where people can go exercise. So she decided to create a “ladies only” fitness center that offers an atmosphere of serenity that the existing work out facilities do not offer.

When her business grows, she plans to set up a complete executive spa, where women can receive steam baths and massages. Her clients will also benefit from a range of good books and other reading materials that focus on issues such as marriage, parenting, building relationships, healthy eating, and more.

In addition to learning about the tourism and beauty industries, Annette also hopes to learn about the causes behind failed businesses.

“I love doing business, but I have never had any training in business planning and management, so I hope to learn this during the training,” Annette said.
