We hope to commence a three-month (3 month) program entitled S.A.V.E (Skills Acquisition, Vocational training & Empowerment) to provide free training on vocational and life skills to one hundred and twenty (120) disadvantaged young people and women.
Through Project SAVE, we wish to train and empower single mothers, widows, unemployed graduates, school dropouts and at-risk youths on valuable and income-earning skills including cake baking and decoration, make up artistry, bead making, tailoring, catering, arts and crafts, hairdressing/barbing, event venue decoration and ICT.
Participants will be provided with the necessary tools at the end of the program, in line with the training they received, to help them start their own small businesses.
Unemployment particularly among youths is fast becoming a time bomb in Nigeria. Also many widows in Africa face not only emotional distress but most times, financial insecurity when they lose their husbands. These women are abandoned to their own fate and left to cater for their children although they cannot boast of a source of income. The militant group, Boko Haram, has rendered many women particularly in Northern Nigeria, widows. It is time to save these women from a life of despair.
Project SAVE is a campaign which is inspired to help lift every disadvantaged woman out of poverty so that they can take hold of equal opportunities, break from cultural and social constraints that may be holding them back, and become drivers of poverty reduction.
Please join us as we restore hope to the hopeless and give underserved women and youths, the opportunity to secure a brighter and less burdensome future.
The Program will insist on deliberately targeting 75% women within its beneficiaries because we strongly believe in the saying, ''Empower A Woman, Empower A Nation.''
The start date for the program is October 2nd 2015. It will take place in Lagos State and Abuja.
We hope to touch more than 1,000 lives either directly or indirectly at the end of the program.
