AMAZING! These Girls are being paid while they acquire a Skill!

YES I know it sounds crazy but believe me it's true! One lady is making a positive impact in Nigeria. Her name is Mrs. Sandra Aguebor- Ekperuoh.
What does she do? Simple-she replicates herself in the ladies she trains and she trains them for free! What's more, she pays them while they are learning. That in itself is s feat as the opposite is the case in most scenarios. 
It is expected that you pay so that you can appreciate whatever it is you are being trained for. I got wind of this info today and it sounded really strange that this woman wanted to train as many women as possible without any fear that the market would be "flooded" by professionals. Indeed she noted that as long as people kept buying cars, there would always be a need for mechanics-well trained mechanics.
Recently, she has diversified her training offerings to include Speed boat engine repair among others.

Mrs. Sandra Aguebor-Ekperuoh is Founder, Lady Mechanic Initiative, a not-for profit organization set up to create new opportunities for economic and social independence for Nigerian women by training them as auto mechanics, a profession traditionally dominated by men. Aside the Lady Mechanic Initiative, she also doubles as MD&CEO, Sandex Car Care. A business which specializes in providing a range of auto repair and maintenance services to its customers. 

Sandra is the first professional female mechanic in Nigeria, maintaining motor vehicles for a number of individuals, companies and international agencies in Nigeria. 

She had a stint with Bendel Transport Service now Edo Line in Benin City as Officer-in-Charge, Maintenance and Repairs. She later joined the Nigeria Railway Corporation in Lagos from where she resigned to setup her own auto repair business. 

Sandra Aguebor-Ekperuoh acquired her technical skills from Benin Technical College and Auchi Polytechnic, all in Edo State. She also has a degree from The Goethe Institute, a German school based in Lagos. She is also an alumnus of the Pan-Atlantic University’s Certificate in Entrepreneurial Management (CEM) programme. 

Sandra has received several local and international awards for her work. One of such is the National Productivity Order of Merit Award, a national award conferred on her by His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. - culled from Fidelity SME forum
