See the first beneficiaries of my 'I'd
Rather Be SelfMade' project. Over
N5million given away
I am so excited and I can't wait to help more
young ladies start their own businesses. So
earlier this year, I announced that I was going to
set aside a N10million grant to help young ladies
with dreams, ambition and great business ideas
to start their own small scale businesses. (Read
here). And finally, I've done it. I've spent over
N5million on 15 girls...and I have another
N5million to give away before the end of the year.
You have a great business idea and need start up
capital? I'm here to help! .:-)
So here's how it happened. I met with over 800
ladies in January this year, I got a panel to look
at their proposals, we asked about 50 of them to
present their ideas to us and then we shortlisted
to 15 girls who are the first beneficiaries of the
'Linda Ikeji I'd Rather Be Selfmade' project. Above
are 11 out of the 15 beneficiaries. Four girls who
live outside Lagos (Jos, Umuahia, Ibadan and
Warri) couldn't make it to our meeting this past
Sunday August 23rd. See some photos and more
