MEET ONE OF OUR ENTREPRENEURS
This is Mr Umar Maawiyya Tanko,
The CEO of U M T Recycling business.
Here are some of his struggles before RAHVAI entrepreneurship grant and what has improved since the grant .

Before Rahvai:
1. The recycling materials really need more storage especially PET bottles( which l focus on) plus the funds extraction for delivery which can take some part of the profit. And safety equipment are also limited.
2. To have more storage, buying more weight scale to boost the collection of recycling materials. Safety equipments are also been used now.
3. The buying pressure as before 1st August l can't buy more weights
After Rahvai. as the supports was received more space was acquired with a new scale.
We are grateful to Rahvai for this amazing opportunity.

Getting this type of mind blowing feedback just has a way of sending energy rush through our veins. To God be all the glory and may this be the beginning of beautiful and better things to come .

Dear entrepreneurs,

If you’re running a small business, hear me .
Your sales today are not the same thing as your profit…Send this to a business owner.

LET US TALK ENTREPRENEURSHIP TODAY !

Here are 5 mistakes that can quietly kill a small business.

1. Mixing business money with personal money
2. Not keeping records
3. Ignoring customer feedback
4. Poor customer service
5. Spending without a plan

As we all know, starting a business is exciting. However, Keeping it alive requires discipline.

Above are five mistakes every small business owner should watch out for.
Which one have you experienced?
Let us learn from each other.

This week reminded us of something:

Impact doesn’t always look big.
Sometimes it’s a conversation.
Sometimes it’s a business opportunity.
Sometimes it’s water flowing from a new borehole.
Sometimes it’s simply showing someone that they matter.
Sometimes it’s making sure a family doesn’t go to bed hungry.

However even when it doesn’t look like it, impact stays longer than you can imagine.
To everyone who has given, partnered or volunteered to ensure that impact continues through RAHVAI, we say thank you for being part of the journey.

Dear Lord, as we begin this new working week we pray; May we never become too busy to notice someone who needs help.
Every new week will come with new responsibilities.
but may we never become so busy building our own lives that we forget to make room for someone else.
May we have enough to give.
Enough compassion to care.
And enough courage to act.

Have a productive week from all of us at RAHVAI. ❤️

What people see vs. what happens behind the scenes…

What everyone sees is the final event—the smiles, the impact, the grants, the beneficiaries and the beautiful moments.

But before the cameras come out, a lot has already happened.

Every project at RAHVAI begins with an idea and a vision.
Then comes the process:
📌 Planning and strategy meetings
📌 Committees and panels of judges carefully reviewing and selecting where necessary
📌 Phone calls , consultations and zoom meetings
📌 Fieldwork and community visits
📌 Collaboration with our Co-Host, Visioneers and partners who help bring the vision to life
📌 Funding, preparation and countless hours of teamwork

Behind every successful project is a team of people committed to ensuring that every decision is thoughtful, every process is transparent and every resource is directed towards creating meaningful impact.
Because for us, impact doesn’t just happen.

It is envisioned.
It is planned.
It is reviewed.
It is funded.
And then, it becomes reality.

Welcome to a little behind the scenes of RAHVAI—where the real work begins long before the event.
