Impact Stories
Simiat Ibrahim
Simiat Ibrahim is a grocery trader.
As a young girl, she had a young desire to attend school but that never happened due to lack of funds.
Today, she is focused on ensuring that doesn’t happen to her children. Majority of her little profits go to funding their education. Scaling means more profits, in turn education for her children.

The upskillME 8 weeks program is a unique program that opened my insight into the way of approaching problems facing our community and how to provide solutions to these problems. it widened and broadened my reasoning. It also changed my rational thinking and helped me to understand that there are many approaches to solving a problem.
Another takeaway from the program is that it made me realize that every individual has no limitations, the more you expand your coast the more chances you get to explore new opportunities, life is full of unlimited opportunities, yours is to unlock the new opportunities to your own advantage.
