SUPPORTING WOMEN AND YOUTH ENTREPRENEURS



Amber Foundation has a mandate of identifying, training, assisting and funding women and youth entrepreneurs. Good enough progress has been reported by government sponsored programs, but, we still have many women and youths sitting on their viable dreams of enterprise without any hope of fulfilment.

“Anna” is a young woman with a vision of promoting and selling African fashion and crafts. She started her business in 2008 and grew steadily. “Anna” conceived an idea to open stalls at strategic malls in Abuja. She called it the Afrique Shoppe. She had a sound business plan but lacked the capital for this latest venture. We recognized the viability of her project and gave our support. With a grant of about $4000 from Amber Foundation, “Anna” paid the stall rent in a strategic mall, and started business!







She currently enjoys technical support from AAD. Business is thriving and the future is vivid.
