BlossomNigeria commends Noella Foundation, founded in 2018 by Layal Jade-Tinubu and her husband, Seyi Tinubu, for the notable work they have done, empowering 14 young businesswomen with N40 million. They have made significant strides in improving the lives of children and young people across Nigeria.
Layal Jade-Tinubu, unveiled the N40 million initiative aimed at empowering young women in enterprise, through her maiden edition of ‘Be Empowered’ initiative. She said over a thousand applications were received from various businesses and she had to personally vet each business to shortlist 60 candidates and further prune the list to 14 beneficiaries.
The next stage after the disbursement of the funds is the bootcamp stage where the 14 candidates will be put through a five-week training programme where they will be taught the fundamentals of business by experts, thus aligning with her vision to equip entrepreneurs with the necessary tools to sustain what they have.
Besides running the Foundation, the 34-year-old Layal Jade-Tinubu also runs ‘Tots Toys’, a children’s educational toyshop, and learning space which provides a range of educational items all intended to aid children’s development and learning.
It is believed that apart from being related to President Tinubu, her commitment to social change and international partnerships will bring a refreshing perspective to the Foundation’s work. We say keep up the good work to Layal Jade and Seyi Tinubu.
