Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,
Our economy is still in dire straits in Nigeria as 9 months down the line, the rate of poverty has increased and there are lack of funds to continue running businesses by small and medium entreprenuers due to rising inflation cost, lack of inputs and unfriendly policies and taxes for entreprenuers. Inflaation as at end of November is at 38%.
The future is still looking bleak but we are confident that our interventions on the empowering youths and women in Nigeria project has made so much impact on the over 1,000 participants we have trained this year 2024 through your kind donations and support and with collaboration with Enterprise Development Centre we have been able to achieve this feat.
We recently trained 45 Young female Agro prenuers in Kano on capacity building on operational management and strategic planning for three days face to face traing after which they pitched their business ideas and one winner came up winning the NGN1 million grant pitch to proceed for the national pitch , and a chance for the winner to be sponsored to Australia where the GEC event will take place where she will do a final pitch to investors for a grand sum of $5,000.00
We have seen the power of collaboration to saving and changing lives and all of this became possible because you have supported us in giving advise, donated funds to make this dream a reality. We recently had our annual retreat and thus for the coming year we would embark upon more capacity building projects both face to face oand online as during our research conducted on entreprenuers we found out that there is a lack of knowledge on business skils, marketing, climate change practices, sustainably development to mention a few.
