SEP is completely free for everyone who attends. That only works because generous people cover what it costs to run it.
We train young people - 16 and up - in practical, income-earning skills across ten tracks: fashion, photography, catering, coding, film-making, and more. No fees. No prerequisites. No catch.
Every seat at SEP is sponsored. Donations fund the materials each participant uses, the equipment we hire for each track, the venue and meals across three full days, and the small grants that help some graduates take their very first step after the event.
Every skill track needs real materials - fabrics, camera gear, food ingredients, stationery, tools. Your giving equips participants who couldn't otherwise afford a seat.
Three days. Thousands of people. The venue, catering, and coordination behind SEP is the biggest cost we carry. Donations keep the doors open and the entry free.
Some tracks need specialist kit - sewing machines, photography lighting, candle-making sets. We hire what each track needs so nobody has to come equipped with anything.
After the event, some graduates need just a small push to begin - a first batch of fabric, an initial kit, a tool they can't yet afford. Your giving can be the thing that starts them.
Use the details below to make a direct bank transfer. No platform fees, no middlemen - everything goes straight to SEP.
Once you've made a transfer, you're welcome to let us know at [CONTACT-EMAIL-PLACEHOLDER] - it helps us track support and send you a receipt.
The people who walk through the doors at SEP - the first-time tailor, the photographer who finally has access to the right camera, the young coder who couldn't afford a course - they're there because you gave. We don't take that lightly.
Whether you gave ₦5,000 or ₦500,000 - thank you for being part of why SEP is free.
If you're interested in sponsorship packages - including branding, on-site presence, and marketing partnerships with the SEP audience - we'd love to talk.
