<p>احتفالًا بعيد استقلال مالي، تسلط مؤسسة توني إلوميلو الضوء بفخر على مالي ماليكي حمدون سانكاري، رائد الأعمال المالي الشاب ومؤسس شركة Socco-Agro-Business، وهي شركة متخصصة في إنتاج الأرز والخضروات وتسويقها. تأسست شركة Socco-Agro-Business في عام 2020، وتمتد على مساحة 24 هكتارًا من الأراضي الزراعية، وهي تقود التغيير في القطاع الزراعي في مالي من خلال خلق فرص عمل وتمكين المجتمعات المحلية.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" width="602" height="744" src="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/mailk2.jpg" alt="mailk2" class="wp-image-26370" srcset="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/mailk2.jpg 602w, https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/mailk2-243x300.jpg 243w, https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/mailk2-10x12.jpg 10w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><br><strong><em>24 هكتاراً من الأراضي الزراعية المملوكة</em></strong> <strong><em>ماليكي سانكاري، 2021 مستفيد من مؤسسة توني إلوميلو من مالي</em></strong></figcaption></figure></div>


<p>وانطلاقاً من رغبته في النهوض بمجتمعه المحلي، رأى المالكي إمكانات القطاع الزراعي في مالي، حيث يعتمد أكثر من 801 تيرابايت من السكان على الزراعة. ومهمته واضحة: “نريد خلق العديد من فرص العمل في القطاع الزراعي بحلول عام 2030، وخاصة للشباب في المناطق الريفية، للحد من الهجرة الريفية”. يقول المالكي. وقد وفرت جهوده بالفعل فرص عمل بدوام كامل لـ 3 أشخاص والعديد من العمال المياومين. كما قام بتدريب أكثر من 150 شخصاً، بمن فيهم الشباب والنساء في التعاونيات الريفية. ويحقق المالكي الآن متوسط دخل سنوي يتراوح بين 1,500,000 و2,000,000 فرنك أفريقي.&nbsp;</p>



<p>ومن خلال رؤيته للزراعة الرقمية، يلتزم مالكي بدمج التكنولوجيا في الزراعة لمراقبة استخدام المياه والأسمدة، وهو عنصر حاسم في مشاريعه طويلة الأجل. وقد كان أحد المستفيدين من التمويل التأسيسي $2,500 من مؤسسة توني إيلوميلو في عام 2021، مما سمح له بتوسيع أعماله في إنتاج الأرز. كان المالكي واحداً من بين 1860 مستفيداً مالياً من شراكة مؤسسة توني إلوميلو مع برنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي التي تم تصميمها وتنفيذها بفهم عميق للسياق الإقليمي واحتياجات رواد الأعمال الشباب في بيئة هشة</p>



<p>وفي معرض حديثه عن الدعم المقدم من مؤسسة توني إلوميلو، لا ينسب المالكي الفضل في ذلك إلى المساعدة المالية فحسب، بل إلى التدريب على ريادة الأعمال الذي عزز مهاراته في مجال الأعمال. وقد لفتت أعمال المالكي الانتباه الدولي. وتتعاون شركته مع بلدان مثل مالي والسنغال وغينيا وبوركينا فاسو، وتتعاون مع منظمات عالمية مثل برنامج الأغذية العالمي. وقد تم تسليط الضوء على إنجازاته مؤخراً في مجلة Le Mali Émergent، حيث شاركنا طموحه في خلق فرص عمل مستدامة والمساهمة في تحقيق الأمن الغذائي في جميع أنحاء أفريقيا. وتؤكد مشاركته في مبادرات مثل ورشة عمل “صانع الإحساس” التي ينظمها برنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي على تفانيه في دفع عجلة التمكين الاقتصادي في بلده. وهو يؤمن إيمانًا راسخًا بأن "أرض أفريقيا تحمل ثروة وفرصًا هائلة" ويشجع الحكومات على الاستثمار في الزراعة لضمان الاكتفاء الذاتي من الغذاء في جميع أنحاء القارة.</p>



<p>انضم إلينا في الاحتفاء بمالكي سانكاري، القائد صاحب الرؤية الثاقبة الذي يبني مستقبلاً أكثر إشراقاً من أجل <a href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%ae%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ac%d9%88-%d8%ba%d8%b1%d8%a8-%d8%a3%d9%81%d8%b1%d9%8a%d9%82%d9%8a%d8%a7/">مالي</a> من خلال الزراعة</p>



<p><strong>حول مؤسسة توني إلوميلو</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>مؤسسة توني إيلوميلو هي مؤسسة خيرية رائدة في مجال تمكين جيل جديد من رواد الأعمال الأفارقة، مما يؤدي إلى القضاء على الفقر، وتحفيز خلق فرص العمل في جميع البلدان الأفريقية الـ 54، وضمان التمكين الاقتصادي الشامل والازدهار. في عام 2015، التزم إلوميلو وعائلته بتخصيص 100 مليون دولار أمريكي لإطلاق برنامج إرث ريادة الأعمال لتمكين رواد الأعمال الأفارقة الشباب.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>منذ إطلاق البرنامج، أتاحت المؤسسة إمكانية الوصول إلى التدريب لأكثر من 1.5 مليون شاب أفريقي على مركزها الرقمي, <a href="http://tefconnect.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TEFConnect</a>, وصرفنا 100 مليون دولار أمريكي على شكل تمويل مباشر لأكثر من 20,000 شابة وشاب أفريقي، وقد حققوا مجتمعين إيرادات تزيد قيمتها الإجمالية عن 1.4 مليار دولار أمريكي و2.5 مليار دولار أمريكي وخلقوا أكثر من 400,000 فرصة عمل مباشرة وغير مباشرة في جميع أنحاء أفريقيا. </p>



<p>إن مهمة المؤسسة متجذرة في الرأسمالية الأفريقية، التي تضع القطاع الخاص، والأهم من ذلك رواد الأعمال، كمحفز للتنمية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في القارة الأفريقية.”&nbsp;</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d9%85%d9%82%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%aa/%d9%82%d8%b5%d8%a9-%d9%86%d8%ac%d8%a7%d8%ad-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%83%d9%8a-%d9%81%d9%8a-%d8%aa%d8%ba%d9%8a%d9%8a%d8%b1-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b4%d9%87%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b2%d8%b1%d8%a7">Maliki Sankaré: Transforming Mali&#8217;s Agricultural Landscape with TEF Support</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar">The Tony Elumelu Foundation</a>.</p>

<p>After spending a lot of time on the streets searching for a job, Ogola Kange decided to become an entrepreneur, she began to make and deliver healthy food to customers within her location. See some months of business success, she went to register his business Smiley&#8217;z Mobile Kitchen in 2014.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seed Grant in 2015 from the TEF Program</h2>



<p>Ogola’s company attempts to reduce post-harvest losses in various agricultural produce, especially tomatoes. She helps farmers with processing tomatoes organically, giving it a longer shelf life, while achieving some of the sustainable development goals.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>“The TEF program and the seed grant in 2015 was the real basis of my Entrepreneurship resilience and success today. That first application, the 12 weeks learning, and the boot camp are the things that I have built upon over the years, modifying and improving the business plan till what it is today.”&nbsp;</em>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Smiley’z impact focus has two-dimension, poverty reduction and environmental conservation.&nbsp; The average woman living in rural Nigeria earns $0.3 a day, with limited skills or opportunities to increase their livelihood. Smiley’z addresses this in two ways: First by working with 35 smallholder farmers to purchase their excess tomatoes. Providing market access to these women, Smiley’z increases their sales by 25% on average per annum. Secondly, she trains women on how to develop cottage industry agricultural products.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>She has provided entrepreneurship training to over 200 women. Fifty of them are now successfully starting their own businesses to support themselves and their employees. Smiley’z Tomato products are part of Solar Impulse Foundations’ 1,000 Solutions and efficient ways of production. The small farmers it works with are trained in ecological farming best practices, including how to reduce CO2 emissions, energy and water usage, and reduce tomato production waste. While in its own production process it uses glass jars to enable recycling of its products, renewable energy and post-harvest waste reduction.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Since TEF, Smiley’z has gotten many more certifications, trainings, awards, grants and VC investment. A Mandela Washington Fellow, USAID and USADF beneficiary, GOZ NICOP SENDIN beneficiary to name a few. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Afamefuna’s entrepreneurial journey began from a place of necessity and personal loss. After the passing of his father, and with the responsibility of nine siblings resting on his shoulders alongside an unemployed mother, Afamefuna decided to take charge of his future by venturing into entrepreneurship.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">From Humble Beginnings to Business Expansion</h4>



<p>Starting in 2012, Afamefuna learned the art of baking and initially catered to his church community, creating cakes for Sunday school children. Encouraged by positive feedback, he soon began receiving orders for birthday cakes and other celebratory treats, which laid the foundation for his business.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Evolution of Speedmeals</h4>



<p>Today, Speedmeals has grown beyond a bakery to encompass a diverse range of services under its umbrella. It manufactures spices and offers comprehensive hospitality solutions, including restaurant and hotel setup, event catering, culinary training, and consultancy for start-up catering enterprises aiming to scale.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Impact: Jobs Created and Revenue Growth</h4>



<p>Before his participation in the <a href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%a3%d8%ae%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b1/%d8%aa%d8%b7%d9%84%d9%82-%d9%85%d8%a4%d8%b3%d8%b3%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d9%88%d9%86%d9%8a-%d8%a5%d9%84%d9%88%d9%85%d9%8a%d9%84%d9%88-%d8%a5%d8%b9%d9%84%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%87%d8%a7-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d9%84%d9%81/">Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) Entrepreneurship Programme</a>, Afamefuna operated with just an idea and no employees. Thanks to the support received, he now employs a dedicated team of 75-80 individuals.</p>



<p>Receiving a TEF seed capital of US $5,000 was pivotal in establishing Speedmeals’ first store. Today, the company boasts an impressive annual revenue of £100,000,000, illustrating significant growth and sustainability in the competitive food industry.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Overcoming Challenges and Seizing Opportunities</h4>



<p>The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges for many businesses, but for Speedmeals, it became a catalyst for innovation. Diversifying into meal kit production allowed the business to adapt and thrive during uncertain times, demonstrating resilience and foresight in business strategy.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Milestones and Recognition</h4>



<p>Speedmeals’ success story includes recognition through strategic partnerships, such as the Foundation’s collaboration with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC). Through the Export Expansion Facility Programme (EEFP), Speedmeals has tapped into a £400 million initiative aimed at enhancing the performance of TEF Entrepreneurs within Nigeria’s non-oil export sector.</p>

<p>With a strong belief in transforming the rural landscape into business empires, Olumide Ogunbanjo offers farmers free beehives on their farms to help improve the yield of grown fruits and vegetables by using the honeybees as pollinators.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>“I grew up as a farm boy in the ancient town of Iseyin, Oyo State, my parent were peasant farmers, and they could hardly take care of me and my siblings.&nbsp; I had dreams of studying agriculture and returning to the farmlands to create wealth for the farming populace. I have a strong belief that I could be the agent of change in transforming the rural landscape into business empire.”</em>&nbsp;</p>



<p>From the initial seed fund, he got through the TEF entrepreneurship program, he expanded a single bee farm into a group of &#8220;outsourced bee farms.&#8221;, created a new business model, &#8220;Pollination as a Service (PaaS), invented and patented a Smart Beehive and rebranded as AgroData.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>“TEF was the initial seed fund we got in the very 1st edition in 2015. We were basically beekeepers at that time, producing FRESHDEW BEE HONEY.&nbsp; The $5000 enabled us to expand a single bee farm into a group of &#8220;outsourced bee farms&#8221;.&nbsp; The expansion gave us a clue about the communal effects of having bees on the farms.&nbsp; We created a new biz model &#8221; Pollination as a Service (PaaS), invented and patented a Smart Beehive and rebranded as AgroData.”</em>&nbsp;</p>



<p>From the support through the TEF program, his company has been nominated for several awards and fellowships programs and positively impacted the lives of over 21,000 rural dwellers.  </p>

According to the report, the food crisis would affect Nigerians in 21 states and the FCT, including 416,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). It noted that about 14.4 million people, including 385,000 IDPs in 21 States and the FCT of Nigeria, are already in the food crisis till May 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Peace Agwu Okorie took the initiative to address the hunger and gender gap issues in his community, promoting good health and well-being of young mothers and women in Abia and Benue State through the establishment of PAO Modern farms, which is a social enterprise to reduce farm produce wastage to the barest minimum. She implemented this transformation by enabling them to build backyard sustainable poultry farming.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Peace&#8217;s passion to eradicate hunger and gender issues emanated the idea to empower 20 young mothers and women in 6 months through training to enable them to build sustainable poultry farming to address the gender gap issues by creating jobs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>She started the business by producing 10kg of jute leaves and 200 birds every two months through the support, she got through the TEF program. She currently produces 25kg bags of jute leaves and 800 birds every two months, using modern nipple pipe construction, making an average of USD 501 Monthly. She employs six people directly and 23 people indirectly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Peace acknowledged that the TEF training on digital marketing strategies educated her on the solutions needed for her business. Their customer database has grown from 10% to 41% largely using digital marketing and social media platforms to advertise their goods. This has also increased their profit margins from 20% to 51% since they received funding.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>“TEF Training on Digital Marketing Strategies Sessions educated me on the solutions. In-fact, we used digital marketing strategies to reach a wider targeted audience at a lower cost using WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram etc. making us grown our customer’s data base from 10% to 41%</em> <em>which eventually help us earning higher revenues from 20% profit margins to 51% profit margins after the TEF programme.”</em> </p>



<p>Peace is passionate about learning and acquiring knowledge; training, capacity building, and special skills because she understands that “to learn is to be alive, never satisfied with the knowledge you have but always seeking more.” </p>

Despite the Niger Delta region&#8217;s magnanimous contributions to Nigeria&#8217;s wealth, the people remain unemployed, impoverished, underdeveloped, and blighted by environmental and health hazards. However, due to gross mismanagement, wasteful spending, kleptomania, and adverse policies of various governments of Nigeria, these resources have neither been optimally utilized nor adequately channelled to <a href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%a3%d8%ae%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b1/%d8%aa%d8%b7%d9%84%d9%82-%d9%85%d8%a4%d8%b3%d8%b3%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d9%88%d9%86%d9%8a-%d8%a5%d9%84%d9%88%d9%85%d9%8a%d9%84%d9%88-%d8%a5%d8%b9%d9%84%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%87%d8%a7-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d9%84%d9%81/" title="تطلق مؤسسة توني إلوميلو إعلانها التلفزيوني لعام 2024">profitable investments </a>to maximize economic benefits to the communities. As a result, the region has been bedevilled with unemployment and poverty.</p>



<p>Onome Matilda Odogene, a computer engineer with ten years of experience in the oil and gas sector, was interested in entrepreneurship. Her goal was to get youths in the Niger Delta region employed in sectors of the economy apart from oil and make African chefs top in the global culinary ranking.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>“I want to change the narrative that we can get the youths gainfully employed in other sectors of the economy beside oil.

<p>Styda is set to be a global culinary business, that is set to revolutionize the food/foodservices industry in Nigeria. Styda Culinary is an academy that provides affordable, convenient and quality culinary training to chefs, would-be chefs, food business owners/startups, food enthusiast etc to interested clients within Warri and environs.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Meet Hyacinth</strong>: Nigeria&#8217;s digital landscape is flourishing. The country has one of the biggest internet economies in Africa. With the continent’s largest population and one of the youngest worldwide, Nigeria presents a vast digital audience. Nigeria has one of the best network coverages, as well as good infrastructure for mobile connectivity in Africa. In 2020, the number of online buyers in Nigeria was about 76.7 million. Nigeria&#8217;s total population amounts to 206 million and the online buyers are at about 46 percent.</p>



<p>Hyacinth decided to be an entrepreneur because he thinks entrepreneurship provides the feeling of having the license to discover and solve problems. This mindset has greatly motivated him to look at problems from the standpoint of creating a solution that solves it. As the founder and team lead of Quick Waka he has encountered problems that his business provides solutions for, and this has validated the importance of his choice of being an entrepreneur.”</p>



<p>The growing population in Nigeria has also presented some opportunities for product marketing even in areas with peculiar commuting challenges. Logistics has been one of the limitations of effective online marketing in highly populated locations in Nigeria. So, Order fulfillments are mostly outsourced to a third-party fulfillment company whenever possible for increased efficiency.</p>



<p>“We registered over 350 vendors with us and 4000 users that daily uses our platform to buy and sell. So, a lot of persons were able to sell their products from their homes while we picked up the products and delivered it to doorstep of the customer that placed the order. The ministry of business development in Ebonyi state gave us special recognition for our service during the pandemic.”</p>



<p>Quick Waka is solving the problem of inconvenience for online shoppers by delivering orders, shopping from local vendors, and connecting them to Local vendors within their location. Quick Waka platform is designed in such a way that vendors do not need to own smartphones or have access to the internet to sell their products. The team uploads their products online and when a customer orders it, their logistic team assigns a dispatch officer to pick up the product from the vendor and deliver it to the customer’s doorstep.</p>



<p>In 3 years after being funded by the Tony Elumelu foundation, Quick Waka has 450 registered vendors with over 6000 users. They currently have 13 dispatch outlets, and they have raised about $50,000 in revenue since its inception. They are currently at the stage of launching and expanding Their services to 5 other states before December 2022. The cities have been mapped out and plans have already kicked off.</p>

<p>Hyacinth has gained extensive knowledge on business management through the training she got on the programme</p>



<p>“TEF gave me the best entry opportunity into the entrepreneurship space- My biggest catch was not only the $5000, the 12 weeks training was the changer for me. It gave me a strong foundation in business. I call it a mini–MBA Today I can write a standard business plan, business report, financial projections and more. As a matter of fact, I have mentored several entrepreneurs online and on-site to<br>become TEF entrepreneurs.”One of the things that stood out for Hyacinthe was having access to a seasoned mentor. The mentor that was assigned to him during the training did not stop at the conclusion of the 12 weeks, he has also guided him through several business decisions. Today he is not just a TEF alumni, he is an idea development coach and business strategist cum entrepreneur.</p>



<p>“The best thing that happened to me in 2018 was to have been <a href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%a3%d8%ae%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b1/%d9%85%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d9%82%d8%b1%d8%b1-%d8%a3%d9%86-%d8%aa%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%86-%d9%85%d8%a4%d8%b3%d8%b3%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d9%88%d9%86%d9%8a-%d8%a5%d9%84%d9%88%d9%85%d9%8a%d9%84%d9%88-%d8%b9%d9%86/" title="مؤسسة توني إلوميلو تستعد للإعلان عن مجموعة 2024 من برنامجها الرائد لريادة الأعمال">selected as a TEF entrepreneur</a>.”</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ae%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ac%d9%8a%d9%86/meet-hyacinth-2018-tef-alumni-who-got-funding-in-the-commercial-retail-sector">Meet Hyacinth, 2018 TEF ALUMNI Who got Funding in the  Commercial/Retail Sector</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar">The Tony Elumelu Foundation</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>يحصل</strong> <strong>$5000 تمويل لعصيرك </strong><b>أعمال</b><strong>س:</strong> اعتادت Omowunmi Akande أن تكون عاملة في شركة حتى شعرت بالحاجة إلى تغيير في مسار حياتها المهنية لأنها لم تعد تشعر بالرضا من وظيفتها بعد الآن. شعر Omowunmi بالحاجة إلى بذل المزيد من الجهد وأن يكون أكثر. لقد أرادت أن تكون في طليعة التغيير الجذري في المنظمة؛ كما أرادت أن يعيش الناس حياة صحية كأسلوب حياة، وليس ترفا.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="975" height="673" src="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-10.png" alt="image 10" class="wp-image-24353" srcset="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-10.png 975w, https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-10-300x207.png 300w, https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-10-768x530.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px" /></figure>



<p>لم تكن علامتها التجارية Smoothie Express مليئة بالعاطفة فحسب، بل كانت أيضًا حلاً للصراع الذي واجهته، والذي كان القوة الدافعة لها. ولاحظت الفجوة في إمكانية الوصول لأن العديد من الشركات لا تقدم وجبات ومشروبات صحية على نطاق واسع؛ هكذا ولدت شركتها. وتقول إن هدفها هو أن تصبح الشركة الرائدة في مجال الصحة والعافية في أفريقيا، وهذا يشمل مستقبلًا مستدامًا.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">قصة النجاح الأفريقية لـ Smoothie Express</h2>



<p><strong><em>&quot;أردت أن أكون في طليعة التغيير الحقيقي وفي وضع يسمح لي بذلك. لم يكن تطبيق Smoothie Express مليئًا بالعاطفة فحسب، بل كان أيضًا مرتبطًا بالآخرين. لقد كان هذا</em> <em>معاناتي أيضًا وأدركت أنني لست الوحيد الذي يواجه هذا الصراع. أردت أن يرى الناس الحياة الصحية كأسلوب حياة وليس ترفًا. كانت هذه هي القوة الدافعة لي.&quot;</em></strong></p>



<p>حققت Smoothie Express إيرادات تزيد عن $1M منذ إنشائها (2015) من خلال منافذ QSR ومبيعات B2B والاشتراكات والأحداث. يضم العمل حاليًا أكثر من 30 موظفًا مباشرًا وغير مباشر.</p>



<p><em><strong>&quot;أقول دائمًا أن برنامج TEF لم يكن ليأتي في وقت أفضل بالنسبة لـ Smoothie Express. لقد تم اختيارنا في عام 2015 عندما بدأنا عملياتنا للتو. كنا لا نزال حديثي العهد بالسوق وريادة الأعمال ككل ونحتاج إلى كل الإرشاد والدعم الذي يمكننا الحصول عليه. لا يمكن المبالغة في التأكيد على الدعم والموارد والاعتراف الذي جلبته TEF، وقد ظل ثابتًا على مر السنين. لقد جعلنا من رواد الأعمال الأذكياء الذين نحن اليوم.</strong></em></p>

<p>فتح برنامج TEF أعمالها بعدد كبير من الفرص. ظهرت أعمالها في مقابلات وبرامج إذاعية مختلفة. ومؤخرًا، تم ترشيحها كواحدة من 100 رائد أعمال من قبل Seedstars بالتعاون مع SAFEEM، وهو برنامج تسريع الأعمال الذي أعطى الشركة 10000 يورو إضافية في شكل منح تمويلية.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">حول مؤسسة توني إلوميلو</h2>



<p>مؤسسة توني إلوميلو هي المؤسسة الخيرية الرائدة التي تعمل على تمكين جيل جديد من رواد الأعمال الأفارقة، والقضاء على الفقر، وتحفيز خلق فرص العمل في جميع البلدان الأفريقية البالغ عددها 54 دولة، وضمان التمكين الاقتصادي الشامل. منذ إطلاق برنامج TEF لريادة الأعمال في عام 2015، قامت المؤسسة بتدريب أكثر من 1.5 مليون شاب أفريقي في مركزها الرقمي، TEFConnect، وصرفت ما يقرب من $100 مليون دولار أمريكي كتمويل مباشر لـ 18000 امرأة ورجل أفريقي، الذين أنشأوا بشكل جماعي أكثر من 400000 مشروع مباشر ومباشر. وظائف غير مباشرة. إن مهمة المؤسسة متجذرة في الرأسمالية الأفريقية، التي تضع القطاع الخاص، والأهم من ذلك رواد الأعمال، كمحفز للتنمية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في القارة الأفريقية.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ae%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ac%d9%8a%d9%86/%d8%ae%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ac%d9%88-%d8%ba%d8%b1%d8%a8-%d8%a3%d9%81%d8%b1%d9%8a%d9%82%d9%8a%d8%a7-2/%d8%aa%d8%b9%d8%b1%d9%81-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%ae%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ac%d9%8a-omowunmi-2015-tef-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b0%d9%8a%d9%86-%d8%ad%d8%b5%d9%84%d9%88%d8%a7-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%aa%d9%85%d9%88%d9%8a">Meet Omowunmi, 2015 TEF Alumni Who Got Funding for Smoothie Business</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/ar">The Tony Elumelu Foundation</a>.</p>
