  • Good day ! I am very interested in this initiative. My questions are;-
    1. What happens if may be we a group of 5 but we are of different interests e.g one want to start a semausu, partner two want a hair saloon partner 3 a pre-school do we still qualify or we should be of one idea?

    2. If it is allowed for each of us to drive her line of interest, then how do we share the grant? How is the interest if there is paid back and the repayment?
