According to Queen Martins, Founder TWENTYFIVE WISHES, ‘’After a successful launch last year, we are scaling up from granting. 25 wishes to granting 250 wishes.
We are passionate about grooming Nigerian youths into employable individuals that evolve into skilled, knowledgeable and creative entrepreneurs who create businesses that thrive despite economic recession.”
The wish granting process has different phases that include training with industry leaders, exhibiting on world-class platforms, receiving tools and equipment for business operations, and the opportunity to pitch for funds from investors. The last three are dependent on performance during the training phase.
To bring dreams to life last year, we partnered with Kelechi Amadi Obi, Montaigne place, House of TARA, Zapphire events, EbonyLife TV, BeatFM, Ginani, Sun of the Soil, Lagos Photo Festival, Lady Biba, OSC college of fashion, Mona Matthews, Nlele Institute, and Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) to mention a few.
TWENTYFIVE WISHES debuted in 2016 out of the desire to create a platform that will grant the career wishes of young people between 18 – 30 years, who aspire to be skilled or upskilled in their area of passion.
The initiative is designed to inspire and motivate young people to be dogged in pursuit of their dreams.
