LoftyInc Allied Partners has launched its youth and women empowerment initiative under the LoftyInc Community Grant Project, which is focused at communities across the southwestern Nigerian states of Ogun, Osun, and Oyo.
In a statement, an associate partner at the firm, Femi Oluwagbemi, revealed that the target of the initiative is mainly to create a sustainable environment at the grassroot level.
He explained, “This project has delivered transformative interventions across communities, including Idolehin Isale, Nloku, Ajipatutu, and Akaka-Remo in Ogun State; Oba Ile, Olunlade, Apepe Village, Idi-Iroko, and Banuso in Osun State; and Ajetunmobi, Kumapayi, Odo Aro, Okeho Ijo, and Odo Aro in Oyo State in different skill empowerment programmes for youth and women, and as well as provision of agricultural inputs for start-ups.
“Women and youths in communities such as Idi-Iroko and Banuso have benefited from skills acquisition programmes, gaining training that enables them to start income-generating activities and contribute to their households. These programmes support their financial independence and increase local economic stability.
“We believe in empowering communities from within, identifying and supporting the specific needs of each locality, so they can contribute to growth and development.”
He further added that LoftyInc will continue to expand its outreach.
