Founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has announced a new empowerment initiative aimed at supporting young entrepreneurs across Nigeria with grants totalling $300,000.
The programme is designed to benefit 100 individuals operating in key sectors including agriculture, technology, and manufacturing. Each selected participant is expected to receive a minimum of $3,000 to either scale existing ventures or kick-start new business ideas.
In a video message announcing the initiative, Pastor Eze, who is also the convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), said the scheme would be managed by an independent organisation to ensure transparency and accountability in the selection and disbursement process.
He described the announcement as an early glimpse into a broader plan, noting that it represents a “teaser” of larger empowerment efforts lined up for the future. According to him, the initiative aligns with a wider vision of making a meaningful impact, not only spiritually but also socially.
Pastor Eze further stressed the foundation’s commitment to holistic empowerment, urging young Nigerians to embrace opportunities in entrepreneurship, innovation, and productivity.
“The Jerry Eze Foundation caters to the total man. Keep watching this space as we bring you details of how this will happen,” he said.
The empowerment programme is expected to support young innovators, stimulate growth in critical sectors of the economy, and reinforce a model of faith-driven leadership combined with practical investment in youth development.
