“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 explained.

He added that as LoftyInc continues to expand its outreach, the Community Grant Project will further focus on essential needs such as healthcare, clean water, sustainable energy, women empowerment, and job creation.
