Youth-Led Agribusiness Thrives Against Odds Fatima’s story
I am Fatima, I was thinking of going to the backway as my parents could not pay for my education and I dropped out at 17. I was frustrated as my friend went to Europe through the backway. Despite the lack of opportunity I stayed and learnt food processing and packaging, then I started supplying local shops but I knew I needed to be more skill to build my marketing and accounting. My inspiring and remarkable experiences in skills training demonstrated incredible resilience and determination in overcoming various obstacles. Today I encourage other youths as a mentor as my story highlights not only the difficulties encountered but also the unwavering spirit and dedication required to achieve success in this demanding field. Fatima’s journey serves as a powerful testament to the potential of young entrepreneurs to transform the agricultural landscape through innovation, hard work, and perseverance.
