Your Investment In Action

Amina has been making tofu for 13 years, turning soybeans into a popular local food. A few years ago, she moved her small business from home to a spot near the local hospital and that’s when things started to grow.

With support from Self Help Africa’s Youth in Work project, Amina learned how to improve storage, packaging, and marketing. She also received training in finance and bookkeeping, which helped her scale up production, buy soybeans in bulk, and reach more customers.

Now, she’s earning more, saving consistently, and even raising livestock. “I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and grateful for the help I’ve had to get here,” she says.

Youth in Work, backed by the UN World Food Programme, aims to support 50,000 young people in Kano State, Nigeria to start and grow agri-businesses
