Train Women & Youths in Nigeria on Wealth Creation

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

We have reached the third stage which is year three in our goal to ensure that our youths between the ages of 18 -35 are self-employed, create jobs, build up a structure for their business, access to market and access to finance, we have thus far trained over 2000 youths since last year when the program started. 65% of persons trained are young females all across the country.

The youths were trained on face to face and online facilitation for a duration of four months each cycle. The youths came from all the sectors with majority concentrating on agriculture, creatives and ICT. The structure of program was first on baseline assessment of the beneficiary, business structure of the beneficiary, Revenue model, key barriers to growth et al.

This baseline survey formed the basis of the direction the program will take and the duration. Serendipity training unit is working in close collaboration with two organizations on the MasterCard Foundation program of Transforming Nigerian Youths and we have thus far recorded a 70% success on the beneficiaries being able put a structure in their business, add value to their products and services, accessed market for such products, employed new staff and create a bankable business plan where some of them have accessed loans from development banks, commercial banks, angel investors through pitching and joining competitions such as Agro Hack, Creative Business Cup, Entrepreneurship Nigeria Cup (GEW) to mention a few.

Our women in the rural communities are also being taught on how to turn their waste to wealth and on how to use simple technology to sell their products through SMS and Social Media. We are also integrating them so that no one is left behind and proud to say especially in the Northern part of Nigeria where our women have so much barriers are gradually coming out of their homes and taking responsibility with their husband’s support.

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

In continuation of getting our young women and youths self employed and make a living for themselves keeping themselves out of poverty, we recently trained 20 more young persons of which 70% are females.

The trainings were comprised of both online and physical for a duration of four months on a mentorship program, They were trained on business structure, business model canvas, business continuity planning customer analysis et al for busines growth.

Faiza and Nasir shared their story on how much the mentorship program has impacted upon their lives and how they have put in structures in their places of business.

They have all graduated from the program but will still benefit from business advisory sessions such that their businesses are being monitired.

The most active and resilient participants have been given ambassadorship to spread the word to their communities on the benefits they have received since the start of the program.

With your kind donations we were able to achieve helping these 30 young men from January till date to grow their businesses and we intend to mentor and train additional 50 young men and women before the year 2022 ends.
