As part of our mission to empower communities through practical learning, one of our impact leaders successfully delivered Project SkillHer across two communities in Ekiti State – Ido-Ekiti and Iyin-Ekiti. The project brought together over 30 teenage mothers and young girls, with 30 teenage mothers trained in vocational skills and empowered with start-up kits to launch their own businesses. Our Focus Areas •Financial Literacy – saving, budgeting, keeping records, and reinvesting profits. •Health Literacy – from maternal & child health to personal hygiene, nutrition, family planning, mental health, and community health awareness. •Vocational Skills Training – pastry-making, liquid soap production, and local beverages like zobo. ✅ Project Milestones & Impact •30 teenage mothers now equipped with skills + start-up kits. •Boosted awareness on child immunization and reproductive health. •Strengthened confidence, resilience, and peer support systems. •Participants eager to kickstart their ventures. Current Phase: Follow-up & mentorship with participants through our community mobilizers to ensure sustainable growth. This project proves that with the right support, teenage mothers can rise above challenges, build livelihoods, and inspire healthier communities. 👏🏽 A big congratulations to our impact leader, Omotayo Faith, for this inspiring initiative.
