The workshop slated for Tuesday May 26th is a joint initiative by Kaymu and Kinabuti to empower children with skills to set them off on their entrepreneurial path.
Children from the CAL Foundation owned by ace broadcaster and media entrepreneur, Funmi Iyanda, will be trained on how to brand clothing items by trainers from Kinabuti using locally made and affordable materials. The children will thereafter be educated on how to own and manage an online store on Kaymu. The items branded during this initiative will be put up for sale on Kaymu with proceeds given to the Change A Life Foundation.
Head of PR and Communications Kaymu, Tomiwa Oladele in a release stated, “This initiative was birthed out of the need to drive entrepreneurship amongst Nigerian youths. By empowering children with this skill set, Kaymu and Kinabuti are unleashing the future entrepreneurs of our time”.
