The Ngeil Humanity Foundation has empowered 200 women in Toro Local Government Area, Bauchi State, with new cosmetology skills under its Batch B empowerment programme, targeted at improving livelihoods and reducing poverty at the grassroots. Speaking during the event, the founder of the Foundation, Engineer Abdullahi Sa’idu Gumau, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to community development through continuous empowerment efforts for elders and youths in the area. He said the initiative is part of his ongoing commitment to support women, promote self-reliance and boost economic growth in local communities.
He explained that the Batch B training was introduced to expand the number of beneficiaries after the success of the first batch. Engineer Abdullahi Sa’idu Gumau added that the Foundation will keep widening its reach to ensure more women acquire sustainable skills that can help them build stable incomes.
He encouraged the beneficiaries to use the funds and starter packs given to them responsibly to achieve self-reliance. Some of the women expressed appreciation to the Foundation for the opportunity, describing the training as timely and impactful. They said the skills gained would help them start small businesses and support their families financially.
