On June 25, 2026, we celebrated the joint graduation of 131 Project Restore (Year 3) beneficiaries from our Pathfinders Business Academy (PBA) and 9 beneficiaries from our Pathfinders Adult Literacy Initiative (PALI).
Through both programs, participants strengthened their literacy skills and gained practical knowledge in financial management, business planning, marketing, record-keeping, customer engagement, negotiation, and business resilience. These skills will support them in building sustainable businesses, improving their incomes, and creating better futures for their families.
The ceremony featured an inspiring keynote address by Dr. Osahon Okunbor, who encouraged the graduates to approach entrepreneurship with confidence, discipline, integrity, and purpose. He reminded them to start small, manage their resources wisely, reinvest their profits, remain adaptable, and view challenges as opportunities for growth.
Each graduate received a certificate of completion, gift items, and essential business tools to support the next stage of her entrepreneurial journey.
We are proud to celebrate these courageous women as they move forward as entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers. Congratulations to the graduating class. Your journey is only beginning!
Project Restore is funded by a grant from the United States Department of State, to which we are grateful. The opinions, findings, and conclusions presented are Pathfinders Justice Initiative’s and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Department of State.
