How is the company funded?
It is a limited liability company, founded and owned by four directors, three females and a male.
We started out with the conviction that many products and services imported into Nigeria can actually be developed, created or manufactured in Nigeria, and that indeed women can be mentored to and empowered to create a thriving entrepreneurial culture using local contents that can make them independent leaders of the economy.
