Of the 110 direct beneficiaries, income generating activities have been formed by at least 10 groups and this bonanza provided an opportunity for the groups to showcase their items and products.

 

The bonanza helped create awareness on issues related to SRH and Entrepreneurship through use of sports and drama.

This mostly was done through the use of movement games before the beginning of the football and the netball games. In addition, some of the youth and children that came to watch the bonanza also participated in the movement games.
