You know that feeling you have when you see someone going good but just can’t wait to help them in spreading the good news, if you have never felt that way before, you can either stop jealousy game or go to the hospital (public one’s are cheaper).
The famous Linda Ikeji of lindaikeji.blogspot.com popularly know as Anuty Linda or LIB. Just recently concluded her first half of ‘I’d Rather Be SelfMade’ project, were she financially supported 15 female ladies with the total sum of N5.7 Million, in a bid to help them lauch their small scale businesses. I am glad to let you know that the program was truly a success and she still plans on investing another N5 Million in another set of 15 business savvy ladies.
Small excerpt from her blog:
So here’s how it happened. I met with over 800 ladies in January this year, I got a panel to look at their proposals, we asked about 50 of them to present their ideas to us and then we shortlisted to 15 girls who are the first beneficiaries of the ‘Linda Ikeji I’d Rather Be Selfmade’ project. Above are 11 out of the 15 beneficiaries. Four girls who live outside Lagos (Jos, Umuahia, Ibadan and Warri) couldn’t make it to our meeting this past Sunday August 23rd.
Two of the girls got over N600k each, another two got over N500k each, two got over N400k, others got over N300k and N200k. Only one girl got N150k.
Asides from giving them money to start their businesses, I will also use my platform (LIB) to push their businesses. Whenever I post anything from any of my SelfMade ladies, I will indicate it’s one of my girls so you guys can please patronize them.
This money is 100% my own money. I didn’t collect a dime from anyone. I want to first give away this N10million and see what the girls do with it before getting others involved. I’m truly hoping to make a new set of self made women and like I said when I stared this, I plan to do this for as long as I can. Once this N10million is exhausted, I will bring out more money.
Also, I told the ladies/beneficiaries that if I see that their business is going well and they are really dedicated and extremely serious about succeeding, I will pump in more money into their businesses and by the end of 1 year, any lady who has most succeeded with the little they got to set up their business, will get an additional N1million. Two of them will actually get N1million each.
I really, really want more women to succeed, to be more independent, to make their own money, and to stop sleeping with men for money. And I will do everything I can to help as many ladies as I can. Read More Here See some photos…
