As Muslim women feel isolated in the world where stereotype, culture and societal limitations continue to pose grievous challenges to self-actualization, the need to bridge the gap created by these hindrances is what Bountiis Charity, a non-governmental organisation with focus on Muslim women empowerment strives to achieve.
Bountiis runs several programs for Muslim women of all calibre and societal status; ranging from the professionals to the stay-at-home mums. The group as part of its entrepreneurship empowerment program, trained over 40 females on exportation businesses over the weekend. The Mini-Exportation workshop which held on Sunday 28th, July, 2019 at Capital Building on 332 Ikorodu road, Maryland, Lagos was designed to be an empowerment initiative of Bountiis to support striving entrepreneurs towards enhancing alternative revenue generation in women as a contribution to the Nigerian economic development
