Empower Young Girls to Become Self-Employed

Young girls and women are most affected by unemployment in this region of Nigeria. The Salesians have developed a program to train young women in sewing and tailoring, provide them with an internship, and then provide support and supervision to help them start their own viable businesses. The first year plan is to include 20 girls in this  life-changing opportunity. The Salesians and local donors have raised half the funds needed to support the first year plan for this program.

This project is located at Lagos State and Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, Nigeria.

Balance needed to purchase sewing and weaving machines, accessories and provide training and monitoring of start up businesses = $11,316.00
