The SAW Journey Continues


Our Skills Acquisition Workshop (SAW) in partnership with the dRPC has been nothing short of transformative — and the journey is still unfolding beautifully. Week after week, participants are unlocking new skills, gaining confidence, and discovering how much they can achieve when they lean in and learn together.

In recent sessions, we’ve explored some highly practical areas that cut across business, personal growth, and employability:

Social Media Management

In today’s digital world, visibility is everything. Participants learned how to navigate different platforms, create engaging content, and manage communities online. Beyond likes and shares, they now understand how social media can be a tool for building brands and driving real opportunities.

Sales & Marketing


No matter how great a product or service is, it won’t thrive without effective marketing. This session opened participants’ eyes to the art and science of selling — understanding customers, crafting compelling offers, and positioning products to stand out in competitive markets.

Graphics Design




Design is the silent ambassador of every brand. Our graphics design session gave participants hands-on exposure to tools and creative techniques that help ideas come alive visually. From simple flyers to eye-catching social posts, they’re already creating designs that speak louder than words.

The SAW journey continues with even more impactful sessions ahead. Each class is not just about acquiring a skill but about learning how to put it to use, turning potential into practice.


Some participants reflections include: 


“The Sales and Marketing session at Skillher Workshop transformed my mindset, giving me the confidence to proudly own my business and strive for excellence.”
Deborah Omotayo

"I have developed valuable skills in website design and acquired foundational knowledge in basic coding as part of my web development learning"
Dorcas Isawumi

“During the study of Research Fundamentals, I gained a solid understanding of the principles of research and learned how to effectively implement them through processes such as topic selection, literature review, methodology design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.”

We’re proud of how far our participants have come — and excited about where they’re headed next. 🚀

This SkillHer event was held via Google Meets, increasing accessibility and inclusivity. Key Takeaways from the Session: The Power of Preventive Care  Participants were introduced to the importance of preventive health measures rather than waiting for illness to strike. A powerful example shared during the session is the story of Mercy, a woman who had always considered herself healthy and often skipped routine medical check-ups. However, when she finally decided to undergo a mammogram, doctors detected an early-stage breast cancer that was easily treatable. This case underscored how early detection can be life-...
