Business leader and philanthropist Tonye Cole has increased his backing for the Jerry Eze Foundation’s youth empowerment programme, expanding the reach of the initiative to benefit more young people.
Cole’s latest contribution has added 20 new beneficiaries to the scheme, raising the total number of participants from 100 to 120.
The expanded support also boosts the overall funding for the programme to $360,000, strengthening its capacity to provide meaningful opportunities for youths.
The youth empowerment initiative, spearheaded by the Jerry Eze Foundation, is designed to equip young people with resources, skills, and financial support aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, personal development, and long-term economic independence.
With the expanded funding, the foundation is expected to scale its impact and deepen its commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders and innovators.
The development underscores the growing role of private-sector individuals in supporting social impact programmes that address youth development and economic inclusion.
