We successfully graduated the Fifth Batch of Fellows for the Conversations for Change (C4C) Global Entrepreneurship Fellowship Programme on December 6, 2023. An additional Twenty-three (23) young entrepreneurs received empowerment in the form of - training, inspiration, motivation, and equipment provision to help them carve out a place in society and use their abilities to better their communities, nations, and even the entire globe. We concluded the 2023 programme with a spectacular graduation celebration following a rigorous year of training and capacity-building seminars, internships, and business clinic sessions.

Over the years and even more recently, I have come to realize that above any tips on mental health that anyone wants to give, love is still the best solution. I had to learn again that letting love rule my heart saves me from burning down the house, with me in it. It is never an easy step to take but it is worth it either ways.
So here it goes, my own definition of Love.
Have you ever wondered how you can make yourself more visible and employable to the many employers out there seeking to hire job talents? I bet you have. Convincing an employer to hire your service can be tricky sometimes, but building a professional online presence can make your job search easier.
Wow! How things have changed! Our normal routines and habits such as hugging loved ones and shaking hands with business partners are now abnormal. Our private lives have been altered and so has work and business. The pandemic has left us either short of breath or waiting to exhale; but exhale, we must.

Reaching large and significant numbers of young people through effective means has been the major weakness of most of the interventions. The case often seems to be that of only a select group of benefiting and empowered to become leaders, because they’re the ones who can afford it. C4C is here to balance that skewed equation by bringing the relevant conversation to the spaces where young people inhabit.
The need to empower young people so they can engage effectively and become equal partners and architects of development within their various countries, has never been greater than it is today. It is in response to this urgent need that CONVERSATIONS FOR CHANGE (C4C) was created. C4C has followed the efforts of the many agencies in the world that have also recognized the urgency of this need for youth empowerment and engagement. A great deal has been done.
