HER ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
Popularly known as ‘Eva George’, Eva’s serial entrepreneurial skills started when she was only 7 years old. Then, she would hawk the street with her mother, carrying trays of medicine on their head in order to survive. After losing her parents, Eva would do three jobs in a day, hawking sachet water in the morning, building blocks with a construction company in the afternoon and selling snacks in the evening. She eventually had to drop out of primary school to fend for her family by doing various legal jobs.
“On the 16th of January 2012 at age 12,” Eva says, “we were taken to Little Saints Orphanage who took us to one of the best private school till I got to the University. Aside education, we were mentored and motivated by inspirational speakers who would come to the orphanage to teach us about life, give us books to read and train us intellectually, the more my mentality changed and developed into realising that one day I would be a great person, I began to discover my talent in writing and providing solutions to problems.”
Despite the challenges faced, Eva broke all protocols and emerged as ‘Africa’s best 1,000 Entrepreneurs’ by the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program and was awarded as an ‘Emerging African Leader’ by EAL company in Washington DC.
