The Temitope Omotayo Foundation has empowered another women in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, with financial and material support to establish and strengthen their akara businesses.

The beneficiaries, Mrs Ozinanti Musa and Mrs Taiwo Oshayomi, received the empowerment package on Monday as part of the foundation’s efforts to promote women’s economic empowerment and support sustainable livelihoods within the community.

The support package included gas cylinders, beans, groundnut oil, Maggi and cash, among other essential items required to start or expand their akara businesses.

According to the foundation, the initiative is designed to provide beneficiaries with practical means of generating income and becoming financially self-reliant.

Through the support, the two beneficiaries are expected to build sustainable sources of livelihood while contributing to the economic wellbeing of their respective families.

The foundation said it remains committed to initiatives that directly address economic hardship by equipping members of the community with resources capable of creating lasting income opportunities.

Speaking on the gesture, the beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the Temitope Omotayo Foundation, describing the intervention as timely and valuable to their businesses and livelihoods.

The empowerment is part of broader efforts to support women-owned small businesses and create opportunities for economic independence at the grassroots.

The foundation noted that providing start-up materials and financial assistance to small-scale entrepreneurs can help beneficiaries establish viable businesses and improve their capacity to support themselves and their families.
