Raise Fund To Save Water
Water is an essential part of living. Water plays a very vital role in ensuring an equal, sustained, and viable productive economy.
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT PROGRAM
It should come as no surprise that rural school children are the most deprived of socioeconomic lives especially when it comes to having quality education and this is basically due to poverty and Neglect.
Many parents do not understand the value of Education as well. And even the ones who agree to send their children to school barely have the funds to sustain them through.
There is a call for urgent attention as rural schools have been left for doom for too long as they rarely have inexperienced teachers. They also suffer a lack of enough teachers for the number of children enrolled in the school.
HEALTH SUPPORT PROGRAM
Free Medical outreaches to rural villages/communities which include simple medical tests like Eye test, Dental test, Sugar level, BP tests etc Give Free Drugs, Wheel Chairs to help the disabled. We also visit the hospitals to assist the poor in payment of their bills.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
Youths are empowered through seminars and vocational training to help them make a living ad take them off the street
WIDOW- WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
Widows are empowered financially for Small scale business and farming and with vocational training to help.
CLOTH FOR THE NAKED PROGRAM
Used clothes, shoes and general household material sourced/donated are given to the less privileged to upgrade their living standard.
FOOD FOR ALL
We operate a Food bank where the hungry can collect cooked food for immediate consumption twice a week and distribution of food stuff to the needy from time to time. We also support the school children with a meal in the remote villages
