However, when I became a young adult and my schedule became tighter especially during my internship , it became extremely difficult to eat the right things.

It was a situation of knowing the right thing to do, but being unable to do it. I knew then that there must be other busy young people like me, men, women and even mothers who wanted their children eating fruits but were pressed for time as I was.

That for me was a huge community need that I passionately wanted to see addressed. So I made the decision to become the change I desired by creating an enabling platform. A platform that supports healthy food choices so as to help myself and others with the same challenge.

Healthify Africa is not just another food company, that caters to only satisfying hunger. Instead, my brand is particularly focused on ensuring that everyone has access to the daily consumption of g of fruits, as recommended by the World Health Organization WHO.

The vision is to create a world where healthy eating is most practical and the dietary risks of non-communicable diseases reduced to the barest minimum. That, as well as our commitment to healthy lifestyle advocacy, has been a huge attraction for our clients because they can see it. When I first started my business, a lot of people did not understand what we were trying to do and that equated to zero orders.

We had to create a lot of awareness about the health benefits of patronizing our convenience-based service. Also, through our follow-up and feedback system, we tried to encourage our clients to make referrals and this has continued to help our brand. Secondly, being a fruit delivery service, food hygiene, presentation and safety during transit were some of my topmost priorities. It was a challenge finding the ideal packaging that met all the criteria and would still fit into our production cost.

I did my online research and eventually was able to find a reliable supplier that we now work with. Finally, it was important that our fruit packs get delivered in a cold temperature range for a great client experience.

This was a challenge when we had to deliver long-distance orders. This was an issue because there is currently no thermostat equipped delivery services operating in Abuja where we operate from. To overcome this, we currently partner with a reliable express delivery service and improvise with ice packs in the chillers for long-distance deliveries. Hopefully, in the near future, we can have our very own thermostat equipped delivery bikes. We made sure to implement a system of receiving and acting on feedback, from early on in the business so that we know what exactly our clients want and tweak our approach to offer them that.

This has been really helpful in building a business that our clients love and customer retention as well. Before I started my business , I had a few unpleasant experiences with logistics. On one occasion, I was to make a trip and I had made an earlier arrangement with a cab driver. However, on the morning of the trip, he was a no show, which made me have to find another one. To cut the long story short, I ended missing the bus I was to get on. When I began my business, I took that experience with me and created a better delivery structure.

I ensure that all delivery arrangements are made on time to avoid communication-related challenges. As a medical doctor, I am really passionate about helping people live healthier lives and I made sure to infuse this into my business. Through my brand, I have been able to raise awareness about the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Also, we have encouraged people to sustain a healthy lifestyle by organizing health and fitness challenges. Most recently, we actively participated in the global week for action against Non-Communicable diseases. We engaged in a social media awareness campaign enoughNCDs healthifyafrica and an educational video series with a team of Doctors. Since we had already introduced our business, our goal was to broaden our client base. Our method was to strictly implement feedback from clients.

Also, we started building partnerships that will ensure quality product delivery and unforgettable customer experience.

After doing this for some time this year, we have recorded an increase in the number of clients that have requested for our service. We believe it has laid a great foundation for more successes with so many growth possibilities ahead and we are optimistic about that. I have actually painted my room from start to finish on two different occasions just for the fun of it.

I like to get soaked in a warm bath after a stressful day. I simply light my candles and toss in some petals. I feel absolutely ecstatic! I had to read it over and over again to make sure it was really for me. About Frances Omanukwue.

Frances N. After seeing the potentials in the event hostess industry and how young ladies can maximize this opportunity to be financially independent while bridging the unemployment gap, she started empowering young ladies through event hostess jobs. Frances interests range from entrepreneurship to volunteering.

In her spare time, she loves to volunteer for many causes that cut across health and young women empowerment. Frances tells us more about how she started providing jobs and supporting young women in her community. After graduating from the university and not being able to find a job , coupled with encountering some financial challenges on the home front, I decided to look for ways to survive as well as support my family.

At the time, I started working as an event hostess which is what most people refer to as an usher. As I grew in the industry irrespective of the setbacks , I observed how the money I earned over the years had helped my family especially my siblings in paying for tuition and fees, as well as sorting out their personal needs. With this realization, I started linking more young women within my community to event hostess jobs. Seeing the difference it made in their lives, I decided to take it more seriously so that by doing so, I can help other young women irrespective of their location.

Some have also used this opportunity to learn skills that helped them get into corporate employment as well. I am really excited and grateful to She Leads Africa and SheaMoisture for providing a platform where women can showcase their businesses and how they impact their communities.
