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 project entered my life. Experts at the living lab at The Centre opened a whole new world to me - the science of nutrition and the immense power of diverse food systems in tackling malnutrition across Africa.

Today, my thriving egg distribution business stands as a testament to the impact of this program. I'm proud to be playing my part in achieving Africa's SDG Goals, ensuring one delicious, nutritious meal at a time. A massive thank you to the EU for funding such a powerful program and a special shoutout to the incredible APDC team for their dedication and amazing work! 

The SYMUF program enhanced my skills and knowledge. It equipped me with the tools I needed to become independent and contribute to the future of African agriculture. I'm incredibly grateful to the Centre's management team and the African Development Bank (AFDB) for financing such an impactful and empowering program. They've made a real difference in my life!

Thanks to the incredible SYMUF project, I'm no longer chasing unreliable jobs! Today, I'm a proud agripreneur, running my own successful agribusiness that even employs others! 

This project wasn't just training, it was a life-changer.  Just months ago, owning a smoking kiln and fish processing operation felt like a distant dream. But thanks to the skills and resources I gained through the Creating Sustainable Youths MSMEs Through Urban Farming (SYMUF) Programme, along with the incredible support of the African Development Bank (AFDB) and the amazing team at APDC Group, I'm now running a thriving agribusiness! It's truly amazing to see what can happen when you have the right support.
