“STEP has exposed me to people and places I have not met and travelled to before.
“I am good in my job, so I get lots of referrals from clients.
“To increase my streams of income, I diversified into baking of cakes.
“Therefore, I specialize in decoration, cakes and rentals.
“I acquired five double canopies, a bridal canopy, 100 chairs, lots of fabrics in all colours, bouquets, chair and table covers etc.
“The income is good; I am already paying for a plot of land. My husband is happy and proud of me.
“I have trained seven persons who have graduated, remaining a trainee.
“STEP transformed my life from a liability to a provider.”
