On August 22, 2025, the *Excel Education Initiative Dukku (EEID)* carried out a meaningful and insightful Entrepreneurship Outreach Program aimed at expanding the practical understanding of young learners and strengthening community engagement.
As part of EEID’s commitment to promoting skills development beyond the classroom, members of the initiative visited a number of local tailors within the Dukku market to observe their craft and gain firsthand knowledge on how small-scale entrepreneurs manage their daily activities.
Purpose of the Outreach
The outreach was designed to expose students and team members to real-life entrepreneurial activities, particularly within the tailoring industry, which plays a vital role in local commerce. The visit centered on understanding:
- How tailors organize and manage their work
- The level of precision and creativity involved in garment production
- The importance of customer relations and time management
- The challenges small business owners face within the marketplace
- Opportunities for youth interested in fashion, sewing, and small-scale entrepreneurship
Observations and Engagement
During the visit, the team interacted with various tailors, observing how they cut fabrics, design clothing, use sewing machines, manage orders, and relate with customers. Many tailors shared their experiences—how they started their businesses, the skills they acquired along the way, and the dedication required to maintain consistency in the competitive market.
Students were able to witness the discipline and patience involved in producing quality work, helping them appreciate the value of vocational skills and entrepreneurship as a career path.
Impact of the Outreach
The activity strengthened the relationship between EEID and local entrepreneurs, many of whom expressed willingness to support future programs. It also motivated students by showing them that entrepreneurship is not only achievable but also essential for community development and self-reliance.
The outreach aligns with EEID’s mission to nurture well-rounded youths—academically equipped, morally grounded, and economically empowered.
Conclusion
The Entrepreneurship Outreach of August 22, 2025 marks another milestone in the ongoing efforts of the Excel Education Initiative Dukku to blend academic learning with real-life skill acquisition. We pray that Allah makes these efforts beneficial, impactful, and full of barakah for the community.
