skills while empowering them to overcome the challenges and barriers to
economic engagement under the supervision of safe space mentors. - Conditional
Cash Transfers (Smart grant): Grants between N20,000 and N50,000 are given

their training to three other trainees from their local community. - Micro
franchising: In effort to provide private sector linkages while increasing
the incomes of beneficiaries, fast moving consumable products and
eco-friendly electrical products are given on loan to mostly female
beneficiaries for sale in their local communities - Technical
and Vocational Skills Training (TVET): Several trainings on technical,
vocational and business management skills have been deployed to members of
the community where project is located for their economic empowerment. - Savings
and Internal Lending Committees (SILC): SILC is a group of self-selected
people who come together save money, which is the source of loan capital
from which they can borrow. The main purpose of a SILC is to provide
savings and simple loan and insurance facilities to community members who
may not have access to formal sector financial services, either because
the services are not available or because they cannot access them.
