"Before The African Afemmemative Action Initiative, I didn’t believe I could be more than a helper in my family. Their training program gave me the skills to start my own tailoring business, and the mentorship showed me I’m responsible for my own success. Now, I employ three other women and tell them every day: ‘I think, I can, I will, I did!’ The African Afemmemative Action Initiative made me an Afemmemative force. "

“The African Afemmemative Action Initiative gave me a voice when I thought no one would listen. Through their youth empowerment workshops, I learned to take charge of my future and started a recycling project in my school. They taught me that I exist, I’m responsible, and my actions matter. Now, I’m shaping my community, one step at a time.”

“After losing everything, I thought my story was over. The African Afemmemative Action Initiative’s counseling and skill acquisition program gave me hope and a fresh start. They helped me learn to bake, and now I sell bread to support my children. I’m not just surviving—I’m thriving, because The African Afemmemative Action Initiative showed me I have a say in my outcome.”
