In this report, Leadership Initiatives would like to introduce one of our Leadership Initiative’s Business Owners- Abdulhadi. Abdulhadi's life changed forever about 6 years ago, when he came across LI Business Alliance Program. He was one of the first beneficiaries on the Tailoring skill acquisition program of IBAP. Since then, Abdulhadi’s life has been dramatically influenced and totally changed by LI’s direct impact on him and indirect impact on his family, friends and his community at large.
Abdulhadi is the first born of his family and the breadwinner since his father’s death. He has sponsored Himself and all his siblings in school from the income he makes from his business. He has also made tremendous impact in his community as his business employs about 20 people; who work as apprentice with the business. Some of those people include orphans, secondary school students; undergraduate and even university graduates who wanted to learn the tailoring skill and business.
Abdulhadi has built a strong reputation and a good name for himself within the community because of the number of jobs he provides. He is proud to be a part of LI and seeks to provide great opportunities for people in his community, the way LI has done for him.
Because of you, there are more jobs, orphans cared for and opportunities for communities in Nigeria. You can learn more at www.lichange.org or view the program pamphlet and benefits sheet attached along with our highlighted business partner Hamza's welding business.
