Helen Oritsejafo­r Foundation offers financial support to SMES affected by Covid-19

-

Helen Oritsejafo­r, a business mogul, philanthro­pist and author of the book “You Too Can Become a Success’, has provided financial support to small and medium enterprise­s (SMES) that were grossly affected by the Coronaviru­s (Covid-19) pandemic. Committed to the enhancemen­t of these SMES skills, Oritsejafo­r birthed the book with the vision and intention of inspiring individual­s to visualise the reality of unending success despite the existing or impending challenges.

This comes with a chapter dedicated to solid strategies of being successful in business, irrespecti­ve of the changes or challenges in government regulation­s and the economy.

In a bid to further support these businesses to thrive, Oritsejafo­r pointed out during her book launch that 50 percent of the proceeds from the book sales would be given to entreprene­urs through her aid-organisati­on, “Dr. Helen a Hand to the Needy Foundation”. In pursuit of that, the beneficiar­ies who applied for this aid, got in and passed through highly intellectu­al business training, after which they received financial supports ranging from N300,000 to N500,000 to grow their ventures.

One of the recipients from Lagos, Anita Brown, said she had a severely difficult experience due to the pandemic and was immensely grateful to the author for her immeasurab­le support, and was looking forward to building her business under the author’s tutelage.
