Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative Trains Youth to Combat Poverty, Unemployment

Following the rising economic instability that triggered poverty and unemployment in Nigeria, the Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative has taken measures to eradicate poverty and unemployment through entrepreneurship training for the country's youth, mostly adolescent girls.

The training, which was organised in partnership with Mercy Corps through Girl H projects and moderated by a team of experts from small and medium enterprises development agency (SMEDAN) across Kano, has yielded positive results as beneficiaries count success from the journey.

In an interview shortly after the entrepreneurial training on SMES Day, as marked by the United Nations, Regina Dogo, Girl H programme coordinator in the Fage local government area, noted that they have trained mostly youth from disadvantaged families in order to support the government and families in need.

However, the Ungogo local government coordinator highlights the significance of supporting the less privileged; she also highlights how the beneficiaries are recording success.

Majida Aliyu Yola, a private service provider in the organisation, decried the rising number of Yung girls engaging in street hwocking and emphasised the need for urgent intervention from authorities as their programme is significantly changing narratives.

Some of the beneficiaries also disclose their groundbreaking success from the entrepreneurial training.
