Beneficiary Stories
Real impact, real people. Hear from the young Nigerians whose lives KYEF has helped transform through skills, opportunity, and community.
The vocational training I received at KYEF gave me skills I could use immediately. Within three months of completing the programme, I had set up my own tailoring shop and hired two apprentices.
KYEF's entrepreneurship programme changed how I think about business. The mentors helped me develop a solid business plan and connected me with funding. My agribusiness is now supplying to local markets.
I came from a community affected by conflict and had lost hope. KYEF's peacebuilding workshops brought us together — youth from different backgrounds working toward the same goal. That experience changed me.
