Testimonials
Coming to HYEC was the best thing that has happened to me. It was an opportunity for me achieve one of my goals in life. All hope of going to the university was lost after four years of lack of funds then i came to Discovery for Youths conference and i got a scholarship through. I will forever be grateful to HYEC
Life was unbearable for me after my Dad lost his job an had to relocate to the village. I was on the street for months and started hawking to survive. I hawked all kinds of stuff and was staying with some guys I was oblivious were robbers. I was arrested and thrown into prison for a crime I didn’t commit. I was abandoned in prison for about 9 months. Luckily, I roamed the streets aimlessly for three years then a friend invited to Discovery for Youths and i was blown away. I also attended The High Impact Summer Camp organized by HYEC which further transformed my life tremendously. Today I can sufficiently fend for myself, have my own accommodation and i living a good life
I had given up all hopes of going to higher institution. All odds of going to school were against me. Everything changed when i came to HYEC. I was awarded full scholarship to further my education. Thank you HYEC
I'm currently on a full scholarship courtesy of Heritage Youth Empowerment Center.
Discovery for youths 2018 was a turning point for me. The things i heard inserted innovative pills into my life and propelled me to start my Digital marketing firm.
Heritage Youth Empowerment Center has equipped me with relevant tools to improve and scale my business.
I have always toyed with the idea of venturing into agriculture but never made any move for lack of funds. I then attended D4Y in 2016 where Mr. Segun Adaju strongly encouraged us to "Just Do it". I took the bold step and today i'm a CEO of Ayo Shobams Farms.
