“

I was selected as one of the beneficiaries of Promoting Inclusive Economic Growth through sustainable Project (PIE-GDP, and am learning tailoring. I was not doing anything at hope and with no hope of any source of income until United Way Greater Nigeria chose to support me and help me acquire a skill and be self reliant.

“

I joined the program so as to help my business and that has happened. My trainers were really good and the fact that we had course materials that we can refer to after the program ended, really helped me. Now, I can reach more customers for my business as a result of the digital marketing courses that I participated in”
