Great evolutions are born from small revolutions

Rede Asta is a social organization that empowers nano-entrepreneurs and their artisanal products through education, market access, and a support network.

Who We Impact

See how our initiatives have been transforming lives

“The course was great; the content was well-explained and illustrated, both in the online classes with the instructor and within the school’s platform. I used to think I would never understand how to price a product, but I was pleasantly surprised by the explanations, and now I have a completely different perspective on the subject.”
Maria Gorete Gonçalves Silva
Asta Business School - Women Plus Income
“The Asta Local Market is a unique opportunity for local producers to reach diverse audiences. The location is excellent, and without this project, it would certainly have been difficult for my brand to be there.”
Monica Cantelmo
Asta Cities
“I left the course feeling inspired and motivated, full of new ideas to implement, and certain that I am on the right path to success. I am excited to put everything I’ve learned into practice and reap the rewards of my hard work. The course was definitely a turning point in my entrepreneurial journey.”
Betina Braga Barros

“I just want to thank Rede Asta and BRK for the opportunity to receive this training and for the chance to help so many women and teenagers with sanitary pads.”
