Before receiving this support, we faced major challenges in scaling our platform due to limited funding. Despite serving customers across more than 10 countries, we struggled with: Optimizing our mobile app for launch, Upgrading our website speed and user experience, Funding digital ads to reach new customers, and Expanding tools like our automated WhatsApp bot (Sensei). We are deeply grateful to God, to Pastor Evelyn Joshua, and to the TB Joshua Foundation for believing in youth-led innovation and giving us the push we needed to grow. This support came at a time when we needed it most — and we will make it count.

With a deeply grateful heart, I sincerely appreciate The TB Joshua Foundation and Pastor Mrs. Evelyn Joshua for awarding me this grant at such a critical point in my life. This is more than just financial support—it is a sign of hope, restoration, and divine intervention.

Moses Edwin
Pastry Chef
I relocated to Lagos this February to start a pastry business. However, I ran out of funds before I could secure a space in a good location. I had been managing with the little money I had left. During the SCOAN Youth Convention 2.0, I registered for the SME grant and scholarship. By God’s grace and mercy, I was selected as a beneficiary. Now, I can add to what I have and grow the business steadily. Thank you to the TB Joshua Foundation and Pastor Mrs. Evelyn Joshua for this great opportunity.
Deborah Oduputeh

It means so much to me and my business, and I am truly inspired by your generosity and commitment to empowering small business owners. Thank you — and may God continue to bless the TB Joshua Foundation forever. Amen.
Eucharia Chioma
Pastry Chef
I run a home bakery and supply pastries, cakes, and food. Apart from handling personal event orders, I also supply to shops and supermarkets. The challenge I face is not being able to meet client demand for more products due to limited resources. This fund will go a long way in supporting my business, as I will be able to buy baking ingredients in large quantities—especially flour and oil. I will also be able to purchase essential equipment such as a mini oven, hand mixer, and chin-chin cutter. With these tools, production will become easier and faster for me, which means improved customer satisfaction.
Elooghene Elohor
Graphic Design and Telecommunications
I want to say a big thank you to the SCOAN Family and the TB Joshua Foundation. A million words and thanks alone can't fully express my gratitude and appreciation, but sincerely, I am truly glad and grateful for the support from the TB Joshua Foundation. I work in graphic design and telecommunications, where we process raw data to produce meaningful information and results. With this support, I will now be able to purchase a durable multipurpose printer, which has been one of the biggest challenges in my business. Thank you once again to the TB Joshua Foundation, the SCOAN Family, and our loving, caring, and admirable mother — Pastor Mrs. Evelyn TB Joshua. On behalf of myself and my fellow beneficiaries, I want to say that we deeply appreciate you, and we love you so much.
Basil Elizabeth
Food Service (Yogurt Parfait)
Thank you to the TB Joshua Foundation for the SME Grant, which will enable me to purchase a new refrigerator for my yogurt parfait business. Being a yogurt parfait vendor without a refrigerator of my own was my biggest challenge. I used to produce my yogurt and take it to my mum’s shop to store in her refrigerator. But that challenge has come to an end, thanks to the SME Grant, which will allow me to purchase my own refrigerator. Thank you once again to the TB Joshua Foundation for this massive support for my business.
Ifoghale Victor
Fashion Designer
Thank you to the TB Joshua Foundation for this SME grant — it will truly go a long way in supporting my career. Before now, I needed an electric sewing machine to produce neater and faster work as a fashion designer. With this grant, I will be able to purchase a new machine that will help me work more efficiently and professionally. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to be a beneficiary of the TB Joshua Foundation.
