How One Workshop Sparked a Business—and a Movement
By Fahad, Ife Social Development

Fadumo’s life changed in a single week.

Before joining Ife’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Series, the 22-year-old from Baligubadle had no income, no confidence, and no path forward.

“I depended on my family for everything,” she admits. “I didn’t think I could ever support myself.”

Then, she attended one workshop—and everything shifted.

The Power of Skills and Opportunity
Our 6-day training teaches women:
📌 Business basics (budgeting, marketing, savings)
📌 Hands-on skills (tailoring, agriculture, digital literacy)
📌 Leadership & rights (financial independence, gender equity)

Fadumo learned to sew—and took out a microloan to buy her first sewing machine.
