Fresh out of graduation, unemployment stared me down. Determined to make a living, I started selling foodstuff in the market. However, I knew I lacked the knowledge to reach my full potential. Then, the EUHD4A programme entered my life. Today, my thriving egg distribution business stands as a testament to the impact of this program.
