NGO Trains over 380 women in business skills

Anon-governmental organization, Mums Booth has organized its 5th edition of training tagged “Project Start Bump” to train and equip women, youths with fundamental business skills.

The training centred on the businesses of vocational skills such as hair making, baking, catering, Information Technology, and how to convert skills learned to a business and also understanding the importance of marketing with over 380 women and 52 Children both in Abuja and Jos as beneficiary from previous editions.

The organizer, Martha Tawiyah who spoke with newsmen, said a lot of people trained in these skills have challenges of launching out because they do not understand how to launch the business side of it.

“This edition is focusing

on the business side of it. We are trying to get them to know what to do, and there will be practical sessions. We are working with Db-innovations, startup experts to teach these women and give them handson today and afterwards follow them up”, Tawiyah said.

On the achievements recorded so far from the trainings, she said; “the success stories are really good. I’m amazed a lot of times, because it’s a one day programme and we make it intensive. A lot of women have started their businesses, so we have good feedback.”

She however called for government and cooperate bodies support in order to extend the training programme to a few more days, hence “there’s a lot of work on ground”.

The Guest speaker from Db-innovations, David Babale said so many people are doing things but they lack a structure to scale it.
