Having been raised by a single mother after the death of his father,
life for 11-year old Prince has not been easy.
He was a very shy student on first enrolling at YTF Academy.
Today, he credits his first place in Science at Rochas Foundation School
to the skills he acquired at YTF.
Ifeoma graduated with a bachelor’s
degree in Social Work. In school,
she was a peer education trainer and
a volunteer for the Social Welfare
Agency. She worked with adults and
children in infirmaries and in prisons.
Now in her third year at YTF, Ifeoma
has gained a wealth of knowledge
working with youth and their mothers.
As a program coordinator for
Gender & ICTs, she says her days are
filled with lots of adventure and
learning; “no other organization has
come close to giving me the
incredible opportunities to learn
while making an impact in the lives
of others”.
“I learned about the work of Youth for Technology Foundation through my church.
I am a business owner and have owned my retail business for 5 years now.
At the training, I learned about how to grow my business, conduct book-keeping
practices and to use FirstMonie to receive and send money to my customers and vendors.
Just by attending the training and using the knowledge that I received,
I can see my business is already ‘going higher’.”
