Every great business starts with a spark — a simple idea, a little effort, and the courage to begin. For Abdullahi Fatima Muhammad, a participant of the 9jafoodfiesta Culinary Arts Training in Katsina, that spark came in the kitchen.
Through the program, Fatima not only learned new techniques in snack preparation, food handling, and catering basics, but she also gained something even greater: confidence in her ability to build a business of her own.
In her own words:
“I acquired more experience and I get more confident to be my own CEO. That is why I put more effort into my snacks business and Alhamdulillah, it is going successfully. I wish one day my business will become a big company, in sha Allah.”
Her story is a powerful reminder that empowerment goes beyond skills — it’s about inspiring people to see themselves as creators, leaders, and future CEOs.
With her determination, Fatima is already on the path to growth, and we believe her vision of turning her snacks business into a thriving company is within reach.
At 9jafoodfiesta, this is exactly why we do what we do — giving women, youths, and persons with disabilities the chance to acquire real skills that can change their lives and create opportunities for a brighter future.
This is just the beginning for Fatima — and for many others like her.
