The Back to School program was initiated to spur interest in education among impoverished students, despite the daunting socioeconomic and financial hurdles they encounter.
The Back to School program operates during the first and second week after schools reopen for selected schools in Nigeria.
We provide educational supplies to the most vulnerable thereby reducing financial burden on parents, lowering dropout rates, and abating susceptibility to exploitation. We engage the community to raise awareness on the importance of education as a safe and empowering choice, giving students a solid foundation to build a future free from exploitation..
Our Empowered for Tomorrow initiative focuses on empowering rural women entrepreneurs by imparting essential business skills.
Through comprehensive training programs, we equip women with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively manage their businesses, expand their customer base, and adapt to the digital age.
Our commitment lies in bridging the skills gap and empowering women to achieve financial independence and entrepreneurial success.
The Period Poverty Intervention tackles the issue of out-of-school girls in impoverished communities by providing them with menstrual hygiene solutions.
We distribute menstrual pads to girls in school during their cycles, teach reusable pad-making skills, offer sexual and reproductive health education, and create safe spaces for girls. This initiative, which has reached more than 600 indigent girls, integrates anti-trafficking education, teaching girls about their rights, safe practices, and how to access support systems.
We offer pad-making skills. This supports both educational continuity and financial independence. These skills help reduce girls’ vulnerability by fostering economic stability and resilience against exploitation.
The primary objective of the Bursary Award Scheme in Nigeria is to significantly reduce the number of children who are unable to attend school due to financial constraints. This initiative seeks to address the pressing issue of out-of-school children, particularly those unable to pay school fees, by settling the school debts of orphans and impoverished children in selected communities across Nigeria.
In addition to resolving immediate financial barriers, the scheme provides scholarships to deserving students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These scholarships are awarded based on merit and need, ensuring that children from the bottom of the economic pyramid have access to quality education.
Beyond financial support, the Bursary Award Scheme also focuses on creating an enabling environment for learning. This includes partnerships with schools and communities to support additional educational resources, mentorship programs, and skill-building workshops to help students excel academically and prepare for future opportunities..
This program has positively impacts young people in vulnerable communities across Lagos State by equipping them with vital knowledge and resources to shape their futures. Through a series of engaging career workshops, technology skill acquisition training, and orientation sessions, we focus on empowering students—especially girls—by teaching them how to identify and evade tactics used by human traffickers.
We also educate them about their fundamental human rights, the dangers of child labor, and provide the tools needed to make informed life choices that safeguard against exploitation.
As a result of our efforts, we have witnessed a significant increase in school retention and enrollment rates, a decrease in absenteeism, and a reduction in incidents of prostitution and child labor in the communities where we work.
Our initiative not only fosters a culture of leadership and resilience among young people but also promotes safer career paths aligned with their individual skills and aspirations, paving the way for a brighter and more secure future.
Our initiative is dedicated to educating communities and schools about the critical intersection of climate change and education. Through awareness campaigns and workshops, we empower individuals with knowledge and practical strategies to mitigate environmental impact.
A key aspect of our work focuses on teaching young girls how to generate income for themselves by transforming waste plastic into works of art and participating in recycling initiatives. By equipping them with entrepreneurial skills and sustainable income opportunities, we help reduce their susceptibility to exploitation and empower them to become self-reliant.
Through these practical initiatives and educational outreach efforts, we cultivate a culture of environmental consciousness, while addressing economic and social vulnerabilities. This ensures that communities are better prepared to face climate challenges and that young girls are empowered to secure a brighter, more sustainable future for themselves and their families.
