My Next Economy Program Story.

I shared my entrepreneurship journey with the Next Economy Incubation program participants on how to excel and grow their businesses.

The Next Economy program empowers youth in Nigeria, Mali, Somaliland, Somalia to unleash their talents, build their confidence and hone the skills they need for a successful career in a job or as an entrepreneur.

The Next Economy is an initiative of SOS Children's Villages International, Crosswise Works and GoodUp. The programme is made possible by the Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.
