 The continual rise of the nation's unemployment rates and the uncertainty of those currently employed entrepreneurship has been said to be a pathway to sustaining the country's economy. This was the call in Benin City, the adosted capital, during the empowerment of over 40 persons on fashion design by the action aid Nigerian collaboration with its foreign partners. The move is scrapped by beneficiaries as apt and a step in ensuring that individuals are self-sustained and financially independent in the country. It's part of action aid effort to ensure that young people in those states have the required skills and the tools and that their mindsets are well prepared to take informed decisions about their lives, about their economic situation and essentially about their future. We have been working in Adolfs since 2013 and in the last three years we have been implementing a project called the debt of work project. It's a project that is seeking to create economic alternatives to irregular migration. The event is the closure of a five-day training where 50 women and girls participated. These people, they were already participated in other trainings during the two years projects that we have had so far. I've been with these ladies all week and we've created some beautiful outfits, some beautiful clothes and now the four lucky ones will come and have an experience in Italy. So I think this is a very successful program. I do believe in the power of fashion to change lives and to make this place a better world. I want to specially say thank you to Action Aid. I came to this training without knowing how to pender, how to do anything, how to cut. I got to know about sewing in this training and today I made dress, I can make dress for people that put food on my table, I can take care of my family with that. One of the things that I learnt in this training is communication, how to communicate with people. This is the first time I'm meeting with my fellow fashion designers and this training has actually exposed me, like helped me to know more people, know that I, just like you know, you think you know something, not until you come, you know, so I got you in your feet.
