“Before joining YBTFWDI, I was uncertain about my future. The 3-month training introduced me to sustainable farming practices and agribusiness management. With the support provided, I started my own vegetable farm. Today, not only do I supply fresh produce to local markets, but I've also employed two assistants. This initiative has truly changed my life.”
“I always believed farming was outdated until I enrolled in the YBTFWDI program. The mentorship and hands-on experience opened my eyes to modern agricultural techniques. Now, I manage a thriving poultry business and mentor other youths in my community. Farming is not just a profession; it's a path to empowerment.”
“The YBTFWDI initiative is a game-changer. It not only provided me with the skills to start my own farm but also connected me with markets and resources I never knew existed. Today, I run a successful agribusiness and am proud to be part of a movement that empowers youth in Nigeria.”
