Thirty-two women from Ikorodu have joined the 250 beneficiaries of Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria\u2019s Empowering Rural Women in Nigeria Project through which Nestl\u00e9 is helping rural women in Nigeria build financial security to improve their standard of living.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is achieved through training, mentorship, and grants in form of
\nNestl\u00e9 products. Beneficiaries of the program are female retailers in Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria\u2019s value chain.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 Empowering Rural Women in Nigeria aims to help beneficiaries scale up their businesses and sustain the new level of up to three times the size of their existing businesses.<\/p>\n

Each beneficiary receives grants valued at 300% of their monthly sales in form of Nestl\u00e9 products, business training and a 3-month mentorship program. Each beneficiary is linked to a mentor for one-on-one coaching over the three months, to ensure their success.<\/p>\n

At the induction of the thirty-two new beneficiaries in Ikorodu recently, Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria\u2019s Commercial Manager, Mr. Khaled Ramadan said, \u201cWe are pleased with the success of the 250 beneficiaries of Nestl\u00e9 Empowering Rural Women in Nigeria and are delighted by the opportunity to include 32 more today. With this addition, 282 women across five geopolitical zones of Nigeria now have a unique opportunity to scale up their businesses by 300%. We are confident that the newnbeneficiaries will also transform their businesses, making the best use of the support Nestl\u00e9 is providing through training, mentorship and grants in form of Nestl\u00e9 products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Phranklin Audu, Head, Partnerships & Training at FDConsults, implementation partner of Nestl\u00e9 Empowering Rural Women in Nigeria Projectsaid, \u201cAs an NGO focused on empowering people to improve their livelihoods, we are thrilled by the impact of this project on rural communities. Over 80% of the beneficiaries have seen their incomes grow and can support their families better. One of them is Blessing Abayi, a single mother from Bauchi.Blessing used to struggle with paying her children\u2019s school fees, but after three months in the program, she told us that for the first time, she paid the fees in full and on time, thanks to her growing business. We are inspired by her story and others like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

FDConsults is an NGO with a record of equipping business people in rural areas with the information and skills they need to increase their house hold income and improve their standards of living.<\/p>
