Olivia 21 years old. Before she joined The Centre For Youth Driven Development Initiatives was working at a shop as a shop attendant and had already a smartphone but all she used to do with it was to spend money on it by buying data just to watch videos and charting on watsapp, she had a skill of plenting hair and which she obtained from her mum. But later on as she was at the shop she heard of an opportunity of free computer training at The Centre For Youth Driven Development Intiatives and as a by the way she joined the training but later on she picked interest and she learnt alot. By then we had no internet but the Centre facilitator used her phone internet and we used her data. we learned more of online marketing ourselves worldwide. So now she got more skills on online as far as cosmetology and hairdressing is concerned, for now she is not owning her own saloon but she works from home and market herself at home and as well she is getting customers and even going to other saloons to make different styles for them and she earn money from them. This has totally changed her life!
Moments and stories such as these friends bring back the lost hope! we applaud your continued support to make a girl child empowered.
