The main tailor and business owner Jamilu Mohammed\r\nobtains year of experience and has tips and tricks from the best tailors in Nigeria. Mr.\r\nMohammed has vast diversity in the products he produces ranging from women\u2019s\r\nand mens apparel, to children\u2019s apparel. He prides himself in his reasonable pricing,\r\nwhile still reaching his high quality standards.. With quality, variety, and experience,\r\nFamily Ambition Stitches produces affordable and prestiges apparel for all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3\">We aim to grow Family Ambition Stitches into a stable and full-functioning business.

With his experience, Mr. Mohammed hopes to gain loyal customers who see his vision and appreciate his quality and attention to detail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3\">When helping Mr.Labaran begin his business, we ran into certain issues such as\r\nimperfect locations, concerns about safety, lack of consumers, transportation, and much\r\nmore. As we continued brainstorming with Mr.Labran on these concerns, we devised\r\nsolutions to help solve these issues. We strategically chose a store location that was very close to his home. There it solves the issues of transportation and is accessible to his current customers creating automatic business. Due to the protests and overall crime rate in Nigeria at the moment, we resolved the issue of security by implementing 5 CCTV camera systems in his shop alongside durable locks and metal bars.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column my-research-proposal-right-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">    <div class=\"wp-block-bplugins-custom-html\" id='bPluginsCustomHtml-1'>\n    <div class=\"my_research_proposal\">\n  <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/17KTaS1DDDHJjknf2xFHi5OLSkCmxswxu\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allow=\"autoplay\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light my-research-proposal-presentation\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\" id=\"my-research-proposal-presentation\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns my-research-proposal-presentation-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column my-research-proposal-presentation-left-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:579px\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2024 LI Business Internship Presentation W4 - Tailoring Shop Infrastructure\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7UqXxYL-Rqg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n<\/div><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column my-research-proposal-presentation-right-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-text-color\" id=\"h-my-grantproposalpresentation\" style=\"color:#3b5ea9;font-size:51px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">My Grant Proposal<br>Presentation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3\">In the International Leadership and Business Internship, I worked directly with some of the world\u2019s leading developmental experts in order to build my partners business and brand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3\">At the conclusion of this internship, our team pitched the final proposal to a panel of esteemed judges from the Leadership Initiatives Nigerian Development Team and the Leadership Initiatives Grant Committee.
