A Non-Governmental Organisation NGO, Save the Children International SCI, has supported 4,000 vulnerable people in Yobe with financial support from the European Union EU.
The Yobe SCI Field Manager Frederick Oculi disclosed this while presenting start-up kits to some of the beneficiaries in Damaturu.
He also said the beneficiaries were drawn from Gujba, Damaturu and Postiskum Local Government Areas.
He said beneficiaries were trained in various skills such as soap making, tailoring, barbing salon, bean cake, bicycle repairs, cap making, installation of satellite, hairdressing, knitting.
Others, he said are laundry and dry cleaning, phone repairs, photography shoe and bag making, among others.
He commended the Yobe Government and other development partners for their supports towards actualising the projects in the state.
The manager also enjoined the beneficiaries to utilise the skills they acquired and avoid diverting the items.
Earlier in her remarks the Yobe Commissioner for Women Affairs Hauwa Abubakar commended the donors for the gesture.
