The National Girl Education and Youth Empowerment Program is a transformative initiative crafted in partnership with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the African Development Bank. Our shared goal is to empower 150,000 women and youths within the next five years. Through this program, we are committed to providing educational and business start up grants to 30,000 women and youths across three distinct categories. The grants range from ($500) N385,000 to ($1000) N770,000, enabling recipients to pursue their educational aspirations and entrepreneurial endeavors. We firmly believe that these grants will serve as catalysts for personal and economic growth, fostering a future where empowered women and youths contribute to sustainable development and thrive as leaders in their communities. Join us on this journey of empowerment and seize the opportunity to shape your future. Together, we can make a lasting impact
