About This Program

Training alone doesn't pay rent. For graduates ready to go further, we provide seed capital to turn a finished skill into a functioning small business — the bridge between "I know how to do this" and "I run a business doing this."

Objectives

  • Provide seed funding to graduates with a viable business plan
  • Reduce reliance on informal, high-interest lending
  • Support the first, hardest year of a new small business
  • Track outcomes to keep future funding accountable and effective

Outcomes

  • 5 startups funded to date
  • ₦3M–5M+ disbursed in capital support (approximate — confirm exact figure)
