Small start, mighty impact: The N500k story of mama Tawakalitu

by Reporter

𝟲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼, Mama Tawakalitu’s story began with us at 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.. and wow, what a journey it’s been!

 

We empowered this beautiful widow with just ₦𝟱,𝟴𝟬𝟬 to start a small drink business. Initially, she sold icy drinks the old way – in coolers, battling the heat, serving one customer at a time  But her resilience was palpable. She worked tirelessly, and when we saw her determination, we knew it was time to level up. We blessed her business with a deep freezer – a game-changer!

 

Boom! The freezer unlocked her potential. More drinks, more storage, more customers. The business SPRINGED to life! Soon, young women in the community were flocking to buy drinks in packs from Mama – not to just quench their thirst, but to resell at retail and pay Mama back later. Zero upfront capital needed. She became a micro-distributor, empowering others.

 

Today, Mama doesn’t just run a business – she’s a lifeline. She supplies on credit, widows and young women sell, and they pay back when they earn. No stress, no predatory loans. Just empowerment, multiplied.  When you empower a woman, you empower a nation – and Mama Tawakalitu is proof.

 

Her humble ₦𝟱,𝟴𝟬𝟬 business now rakes in over ₦𝟱𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬. Not just numbers – dignity restored, families fed, and a ripple of economic hope.

 

Here’s the magic: YOU have this same spark within you. Whether you’re a widow, a young mama, or someone chasing a tiny dream – if Mama Tawakalitu turned ₦𝟱,𝟴𝟬𝟬 into a thriving business with grit and a freezer… what’s stopping YOU?  You don’t need “big money” to start.
