WHAT DOES
SAVE OUR NEEDY ( S.O.N) REPRESENT?
S.O.N is a registered international not-for-profit
organization founded in the Republic of Benin in 2010. We currently have offices in
Cotonou, Republic of Benin and Lagos, Nigeria, both West African countries. S.O.N
was born mostly out of the need to help the less privileged attain financial
independence by realizing their potential thereby achieving their dreams.
HOW DOES S.O.N INFLUENCE LIVES?
We have been able to touch the lives of thousands of less
privileged men, women and children through mainly charity works, empowerment
programs and training given to them. We hope to do a lot more in the future
with the resources that will be available to us.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to give a better life
and future to the less privileged in the society.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to become a global
organization encouraging the less privileged overcome poverty by empowering and
availing them of opportunities to attain sustainable human development.
Save Our Needy operates from two
countries in West Africa, today. Our five-year plan is to be found in more
countries around the world working with the youth and women, bringing hope and
succor to the less privileged.
S.O.N OBJECTIVES
Our main objectives are:
·
Poverty alleviation
·
Economic empowerment of youth and
women through empowerment programs and relevant training to attain sustainable
development
·
Advocating for the respect of human
rights by fighting against human trafficking
OUR TARGET
Our focus is mainly on the youth,
women and children. We believe that women and children are the most vulnerable
groups in the society and they are easily affected by poverty. That is why most
of our programs are geared towards catering for women and children. The youth
are at a very vulnerable stage in their lives and this group should also not be
ignored. Programs such as S.O.N AIDS awareness programs are geared towards
helping the youth manage their sexuality and become responsible individuals.
OUR TEAM
We have dedicated, focused and accountable who are experts in their respective fields. We also work with volunteers: young,
dynamic, dedicated, determined and capable individuals who help us carry out our projects.
The volunteers get welfare packages during projects.
BOARD MEMBERS
Our board members are educated, accountable,
reliable and well- respected people in the society.
OUR APPROACH
We reach out to the less privileged
in the society through donations, awareness programs, organizing periodic
training, capacity-building workshops and seminars aimed at encouraging women
and young people attain financial independence and develop leadership skills.
WHO WE HOPE TO PARTNER WITH
We hope to partner with individuals,
private companies, government agencies, international agencies and
organizations. S.O.N welcomes all kinds of partners and donors because without
partnerships, non-profit organizations are limited. We believe partnerships go a long way in helping
accomplish set goals. Partners are always useful and they always
bring the much-needed added value to projects.

- Education
