02.05.02 Gender equality - Justification for my startup

We all know that the average African woman sits in a position of systemic disadvantage, mostly dues to her financial constraints.this position makes her prone to being abused and taken advantage of. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way through the BBH PORTS PROJECT Over 1000 and counting women which I'm one of them are unlocking their best potentials and showing other women how to achieve this. As a growing female child I have encountered situations whereby women (females) are referred to as liability. This is due to the economy 😔 that only understands that women are not deserving to be put on any high value responsibilities this causes them (women) to rely on their partners financially and mentally because they become faint in carrying on any responsibilities except the primary responsibility

BBH PORTS MOBILE APPLICATION is a new service that a lot of business owners might have thought of it as a business idea 💡 but abandoned it because they don't see that light, that's because they have not placed a structure round it. BBH PORTS represents entirely new service, of course a lot of people know about importation they they have not seen a Nigerian mobile application where you could search for any products or items that you need or want make payments conveniently then track your items From the app and be rest assured to get you goods

06.09 Competitive Analysis

Other importer/preorder agent I stand out so far from them buy the value I create, the problem I solve, and the space to accept more people to the team because it's going to be big. Most importantly, BBH PORTS mobile application has a structure where by anyone of any age, experience can have access to any item at all they want from any other countries without being bothered of high shipping fee because we have worked and put things in place for the access of a fair shipping fee that is lesser than the product market price in Nigeria, and do not have to bother about FX issues because BBH PORTS as enable customers to pay with their local currency NAIRA) BBH PORTS MOBILE APPLICATION also has an accessable free ebook (Course) for individuals looking forward in starting a business however have little or no knowledge on entrepreneurship and business skills

11.05 Are you initiating actions within your community to promote the role of female entrepreneurs?

Yes, I have been initiating some actions within my reach in my community, but due to inadequate funding and support we're not able to create a conducive environment for achieving our specific goal, however If I'm able to win this grant challenge ,i would be able to support and empower female entrepreneurs in my community and beyond. By organizing workshops, networking events, or mentorship programs specifically tailored to female entrepreneurs,they would also have access to import goods to Nigeria conveniently for their businesses. This initiative would not only promote gender equality but also foster diversity and innovation within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
