“In March 2020, I saw the business investment and training opportunity and I applied. Fortunately, my business idea was shortlisted, and I was selected for the life skill training opportunity. I then underwent a two-month entrepreneurship training that gave me the knowledge to not only understand the business approach, but how to also brainstorm innovative ideas with income generating capacity.”
