The Justice, Development and Peace Caritas Initiative (JDPCI) has facilitated a N7 million grant for 70 vulnerable persons in the FCT.
The beneficiaries, including Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), received the grant after a three-day entrepreneurship training in Gwagwalada.
The Executive Director of JDPCI, Rev. Sebastian Sanni, announced this at the closing ceremony of the training on Sunday.
Sanni said the programme was implemented in partnership with Christian Blind Mission (CBM) International.
He said that the intervention aligned with the vision of Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama to reach the most vulnerable.
He explained that the beneficiaries were selected after being identified as individuals genuinely struggling with their businesses.
He added that a monitoring team had been set up to track the beneficiaries’ progress for the next three months.
The cleric also revealed plans to scale the programme to other area councils across the FCT.
