BRIEF OF SUBMITTED SOLUTION
The pandemic has impacted a huge part of the economy and its players in a rather unpleasant way. This has informed our solution of providing young people who have been put out of decent work with skills in the fashion industry such as dress making, bead and accessories making, shoe making, hair styling, make up artistry, this is also to sell the African Fashion globally as it is getting popularity widely. This will enable the African youth to be productive and participate in the estimate USD3 trillion fashion industry globally. In solving the problem of unemployment, we offer vocational training to young women and youth in the fashion industry, training in dress making, make up artistry, bead making, hair making amongst others. When young people are afforded the opportunity to be equipped, they are able to be active players in the industry partaking in the multibillion naira fashion industry. Fashion is big business in Africa, the combined apparel and footwear market in sub-Saharan Africa is estimated to be worth US$ 31 billion, according to data from Euromonitor International.
Our unique selling point is the impact we are able to make for the young people in our communities, training and establishing these fashionpreneurs in their enterprises, enabling them with business development tools, linkage to market and finance.
