In 2024, the organization conducted a talent hunt at Ayo Daramola High School, Ijan-Ekiti. Two students were discovered: a boy with welding skills and a girl with hairdressing skills.
At the time, the girl was in SS2 and had already completed her training with her boss. HATBI promised to set her up with a business after she completed her secondary school education. The goal was for the skill to support her university education and help her grow her talent.
Today, by the grace of God and with the support of our Executive Director, Mr. Suleman Olakunle, HATBI has fulfilled that promise. The girl has been empowered with the essential tools to start her hairdressing business. The equipment provided includes a hairdryer, hair straightener, hot comb, and a hair washing basin.
P.S: The first picture was taken with the girl and her mother during our visitation to her in 2024.
