Project Description

Region: Africa

Country: Nigeria

Location: Lagos

Total Budget: $34,000

Area of Focus: Community economic development



Veronica Olaitan graduated with a First Class Honors in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Benin, Nigeria. She currently works as a Tax Consultant with PriceWaterHouseCoopers Limited. She possesses about six years of progressive experience in Financial Analysis and Employment related taxes.

She has an admission from the University of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to study Environmental, Resource and Developmental Economics in a one-year Masters program beginning September, 2015. She is an economist by her undergraduate background, but she wants to be an expert whose knowledge will provide solution to various economic problems faced by developing economies, thereby contributing to the fulfillment of one of Rotary's Six Area of Focus: Economic and Community Development. Veronica plans to start a Rotary supported economic solution services in the local community in Nigeria once her Masters program is completed.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
