Dear Leadership Initiatives Donor,
These students have been amazing interns in Leadership Initiatives’ International Business & Development Internship Program. Over the past year, these students have built cross-cultural relationships with their project coordinator, as well as their up-and-coming business partner. These students have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to not only understanding Nigerian culture and business intricacies but also fostering a deeply meaningful connection with their business partners. Their dedication and passion for learning have been truly inspiring, marking them as exemplary representatives of cultural exchange and business innovation.
They have been working throughout the last few months to create and develop innovative solutions for their business partner to assist in establishing and growing their business. After months of working together and in conjunction with their business partner and project coordinator, they applied for a microgrant for the business, and their proposal was just approved! This microgrant will furnish the business with essential resources, empowering them to enhance service offerings, expand the customer base, and elevate profitability. The approval of this grant stands as a testament to the hard work, ingenuity, and dedication of these students, solidifying their role as leaders for positive change and entrepreneurial growth.
Additionally, Leadership Initiatives is beginning work on multiple community development projects in rural areas of Bauchi, Nigeria. To highlight one, In the Guru community, a culvert bridge will be constructed that will foster connectivity to other communities and allow access to vital services during the rainy season. These projects underscore Leadership Initiatives' commitment to empowering communities, driving sustainable development, and creating lasting positive change.
On behalf of everyone at Leadership Initiatives, thank you for everything that you have done. We all truly appreciate your donation and support for our organization. Everyone at Leadership Initiatives would love to have you more involved in our organization if you would ever want to help us grow our programs or learn more about ways that you can assist.
Sincerely,
The Leadership Initiatives Team
